TULANE CIRCA 1970/74
A Study of
Near-Ancient History
by Jon Birge
Look around this campus at the kids today and what do
you see? Everyone in their alligator T-shirts with coordi-nated
tennis shorts. The main concern for most people
seems to be their suntans and Maple Street on Thursday
night. The only underground movements: more free beer
and a Gucci franchise for the bookstore. It amazes me that
the school could discontinue quarter beer night in the Rat
without having a major riot. It also amazes me that New-comb
still has that ridiculous plus-minus grading system.
Hard to believe that only a few years ago we were trying
to get some real changes made . . .
Mudent life
student life / 13
TLF was more a vacation from classes than anything else
for most people. It started as a political issue — the bomb-ing
of southeast Asia — and ended by being a fight over
dorm hours and "amnesty" for those who'd had the audac-ity
to spend the whole night in the U.C. They might have
proved something by burning down the ROTC Building
but to look at the weekly marches down McAlister today,
you'd never know it. it was the night Jerry Rubin spoke at
McAlister, some guys sneaked into the barracks and set
them on fire. Although no one was even officially blamed
— a bunch of people took credit for it. In fact, even now in
1977, there is someone running around bragging that his

older brother did it. There had been some kids caught tak-ing
over the phone exchange, a legitimate action regard-less
of the motives. There had been a near rumble on New-comb
Quad when someone put underwear left over from a
panty raid on top of the flagpole. A long forgotten under-cover
Creenie became a hero by shimmying up to remove
it. The rumble came later when the "freaks" tried to take
down the flag and the football team locked arms to protect
the flagpole. There was a lot of punching that day but not
much real injury, although one freshman got his head
severely broken.
student life / 15
\ remember going to concerts like Watkins Glen and
Grateful Dead, in Atlanta where you couldn't help but run
into kids from Tulane. Nobody cared nearly as much about
school as they did about their music. One guy had an old
hearse we used to fill up with six to ten kids and just take
off for the nearest Dead set. The Dead, of course, was the
standard WTUL programming. One chick used to spin
bootleg album sides; coming in from the Rat every 25 min-utes
to flip the discs. She got another jock fired (and
expelled) for dedicating the song "Bottle of Wine" to a
member of the administration. This was the same year she
got the old Coffee House started in Warren basement. She
used to sit there from 1 o'clock to 4:30 every morning, talk-ing
with the weirdos who hung out at that hour. We used
to plot to blow up the University, which at the time was
the thing to do. Most of the guys were left-over TFLers
(Tulane Liberation Front) who had taken over the U.C. and
burned down the ROTC barracks. One of the guys claimed
the truck just about full when the Greenies came out of
the bushes. It was more embarrassing than painful since
all they got was academic probation for a semester.
He got even though, for getting caught. Before split-ting
from Tulane, he and another guy stole the moose
head which used to hang in the Ratskeller above the
entrance. Everyone always joked about stealing it but
tike everything else that is still in the Rat, it was nailed
down tight. Anyway he sat up on the rafters one night
and pried it loose. The moose head adorned his van for
months and went to Oregon when he did. Just last year
he sent it back from Oregon or wherever he was, in a
crate to the U.C. Guess he must have found a real moose
up there.
If Greg was an accomplished thief, he was still not as
slippery as another guy we used tO' hang out with.
Because the school is still after him and his name is
uncommon, I'll call him by his initials. C. M. was the
to be a member of that group of nine students expelled
during the anti-ROTC demonstration which also got Pro-fessor
Dubinsky fired.
The guy's name was Greg, and he stayed around the Uni-versity
for about six or seven years — starting out in engi-neering
and switching to architecture. He could have writ-ten
a book on "acquiring" things. He could walk out of the
Rat with three pizzas a night (who would want them?),
every night. He stole chairs from bars downtown by slip-ping
them over the canvas middle of a wheelchair and put-ting
a blanket on his legs while he was wheeled out. He
and his roommates ran a service much like the library
"rent-a-picture." They could get just about any statue at
the school for the right price. Guess that's why so few are
left. One night they delivered the piano from the Phelps
lobby to a third-floor room. The only time Greg got caught,
I think, was right after registration in 1972 when he and
three brothers from some fraternity were loading the Irby
lobby furniture into a flat-bed truck at 3:00 a.m. They had
best businessman who ever went to Tulane. He used to
rent out his address for guys who were shacking up with
their girlfriends. At any given time he was getting phone
calls for five or six roommates, each of whom paid about
$40 or $50 a month. The phone was in a bunch of peo-ple's
names and C. M.'s biggest problem was keeping
the parents' names straight early on Sunday Mornings.
C. M.'s questionable activities ranged from football
pool to an escort service. The football pool ran for three
or four years till 1974, when Leon, his pointsmaker grad-uated.
Leon could pick the games as well. They could
almost choose the number of winners they wanted each
week. With this income, C. M. would buy cars from the
police pound and bring them back from downtown, and
he knew almost every city magistrate by name. He is,
and I swear this is true, not allowed to drive a four-wheeled
vehicle in the state of Louisiana.
iudent life
C. M.'s girlfriend lived in Irby, in one of those rooms
that had been built up by architecture students. Hers
had been compartmentalized a few years before with
beds put up over the desks and a panelled structure
placed in the middle to provide a study 'downstairs' and
a smoking room upstairs. The guys who originally built it
had used over 150 feet of wiring and spent hundreds of
dollars on panelling and two-by-
fours. It was the ultimate
in privacy (for dorm living)
and housing had allowed
them to sell it to the next
occupants. Anyway, she and
her roommate used to bring
pounds in from Texas and
deal them mostly to friends,
some to outsiders. It was
fairly safe on campus and
they were pretty discreet.
One night, when i was liv-ing
upstairs, I hear her and
her roommate come scream-ing
up the stairs, pounding
on all the doors. Apparently
four non-students had come
up on the pretense of buying
some lids and had grabbed
six pounds and run. A bunch
of us hauled out of irby after
them, screaming for the
Greenies to stop the thieves.
It wasn't until they were half-way
down McAlister, sur-rounded
by Greenie cops,
that we realized that we
really didn't want to admit to
ownership. The thieves got
their choice at Security that night: they were going to
Parish Prison either for possession with intent to distrib-ute
or for grand larceny. They took the grand larceny
charge because Security incinerated the pot the next
week.
Irby in '69, '70, and '71 was about the greatest place a
guy could want to live. The advisors were definitely cool

and once or twice a week Irby would assail Phelps in a
dorm war. The closest girls lived in Patterson, and they
usually added their own yells to the melee. Wars in
those days were much more serious than the screaming
that goes on now. Among the arms was a catapult for
water balloons made of surgical tubing which could
send a balloon well over the top of Phelps. The catapult
was tied between two
uprights on the Irby balcony,
pulled back through an open
window, then released. An
engineering student who
constructed it swore he
could put a balloon into the
Sugar Bowl. The catapult was
dismantled in 1972 after four
plate glass windows in
Phelps were shattered.
The better trick of the Irby-ites
was to send a raiding
party over to Phelps with a
bunch of bottle rockets and
firecrackers to rouse the
freshmen around 11:30-12:00.
In retaliation, they would
come pouring out of the
dorm with toilet paper, eggs
and other missiles to charge
over to Irby. In preparation,
the guys at Irby would all
have their study lamps
clamped to the balcony rail-ing,
making it impossible for
the freshmen to see their tar-gets.
Irby would then be free
to pour, spit, throw and uri-nate
on the Phelps raiders at
will. The fourth-floor crew had a hose running from one
of the showers and the advantage of gravity. Usually
some fireworks were thrown, and one year some turkey
started throwing chairs and a bicycle over the side.

<y.
Almost anyone who lived on campus in those years will
remember the Star Trek Band. This was four guys who used
to play the star trek theme and other tunes starting at mid-night
every night. They'd play on the fourth floor at the
McAlister end and windows would open (and shut) all
over campus. People would, as they got accustomed to the
concerts, plan to meet on Butler Quad with some wine or
pot and relax a bit before bedtime.
Some of the weirder stuff that used to happen always
seemed to happen to a friend of mine named Pat who lived
in the upper garden district. She was eventually asked to
leave Newcomb over an incident she had with one of the
deans, but led a colorful life while on campus. One night
she took me on one of her famous train rides over the
Huey P. in a "private" box car. Since the bridge, including
the part over land, is so long, the tour lasted about 30 min-utes
but seemed like hours after the wine we had drunk.
We went with a guy named Bill who was tripping his brains
out and who insisted on hanging out of the car with his
head straight down, watching the railroad ties go by. Since
we couldn't hold on to him we went to the other door and
sat with our feet hanging out watching the tiny city of New
Orleans. Pat must have turned 20 people on to that train
and though a different one runs now, I recommend it to
anyone who's never done it. It gives you a great Woody
Guthrie view of the city and at three or four in the morning
it can be one of the most peaceful experiences you'll ever
have.
Pat was probably best known for her picture that was
flashed around the world in 1974. Tulane made the news as
it is prone to do by having its "streakers" captured for eter-nity
by the Associated Press. Though she was never identi-fied
in the picture, I can attest to the fact that the roundest
rump of the half dozen in the picture belonged to her.
-nt life
She had streaked first in McAlister, running from behind
the screen during a free flick to provide the best entertain-ment
of the evening. She streaked just about every night
during the week — it was fashionable and her only loss
was of a madras skirt ripped off by a middle-aged gentle-man
of the community.
The whole streaking fad which started out as one guy in
ski mask streaking through a psych lecture, spread to the
whole campus, eventually degenerating into groups of stu-dents
running or standing around the campus naked. The
administration tolerated it as a pre-finals release of tension
but the surrounding y'ats found it a culturally enriching
experience. Naturally the local news teams were on the
scene, vying for the best shots. One mini-camera crew sat
in the lobby of the library for almost two hours waiting for
the rugby team to come trooping out sans uniforms. Some
nights there were literally thousands of people on both
sides of McAlister, Metairians pushing babies in strollers
and middle-aged women with their lawn chairs ready to
camp out for the night. Some people showed up with the
standard Mardi Gras stepladder and paper rack, maybe to
catch underwear.
There was a good friend of mine from KA named Jim. He
is now a lawyer which prevents me from naming his home-town,
but he was a "good ole boy" as the term is now fash-ionable,
and never came to a class without a drink in the
three years I knew him.
Although he usually could find a date or had a girlfriend
(being the traditional sort) he usually ended up with his
horse on Old South day due to his penchant for getting so
obnoxiously drunk that he rarely made the dance. His jun-ior
year, he had a date with a very nice freshman named
Pauline who had met him once or twice in the Rat. Jim had
been drinking most of the day and had pitched several bot-tles
off the KA balcony. By the time he went over to Butler
to get his date, he had to be dragged out of the car by some
pledges. He made it as far as the front door and fell right on
his face, half in the door, half out. The pledges, being
coherent, but not exactly paramedics, turned him over to
see if he had broken his nose. Though he was still in one
piece, that was the extent of what they could do with him
and he lay on the floor of Butler till about 3:30 the next
morning. His date had a good time at the dance without
him. Jim dated freshmen the rest of the year.
it wasn't that there was a different breed of students
here, but the kind of stuff we did just seemed a lot more
exciting.

Student Government and the New
Sensibles
School used to be so invigorating, so stimulating, so
exciting, in the late Sixties, early Seventies, there was
always ferment, always turmoil, always dissension. Pro-tests,
moratoriums, strikes . . . those were the good old
days. While they are heaving a massive sigh of relief, we
are wondering where all the vim and vigor of uprisings
went. What's a student to do — study?
If four years ago a candidate had run for office using aca-demics
as a first priority, he would have been hooted and
catcalled out of the ring. Then, greater student representa-tion,
coed dorms, etc., were the issues; concrete demands
that could be visibly met. Now we want a better library,
higher admissions standards and a superior faculty. Then
we wanted Tulane to be a more progressive university;
now we want a more scholarly school.
That is quite an admirable cause, it is a very difficult one
to disagree with, unfortunately it is incredibly difficult to
implement. It is also not a cause that will win despite them,
the fight's protagonists' and antagonists' roles have been
altered. Where the lines were set at Us vs. Them, now it is
us and them vs. lack of capital, vs. spiraling inflation, vs. a
dropping admissions pool, etc. There is one clear conclu-sion
to be drawn: It was a hell of a lot easier to fight the
Administration.
Scathing tirades on Benny Ellender's car, caustic satires
on the Newcomb Chapel, and Superdome funnies had
their time. It seemed as if the only way to get anything
accomplished was through public humiliation. What hap-pened?
Have we lost our genitalia? Have our vertebrae dis-solved?
It would appear that way to seasoned muckrakers,
but a detente has presently set in. In the Hnrrorhelow two
years ago there was a story of Herbert T. Longenecker's
reappearance after not being seen since World War II. This
type of lampoon just does not seem to fit the new Presi-dent.
Hackney is everywhere, from the Engineering snow
fight to the U.C. snackbar line. The only mystique about
Dr. Hackney is where he finds the time to be all places at
all times. Everywhere one turns there's the President, one
can see him walking to teach a class in Newcomb Hall, on
the tennis court, at the free flicks . . . It is a rare day when
"Da Hack" is not seen at least once: at Direction, the
Women's Forum, the Tulanians, jogging ... It has gotten
to be a kind of Hackney-mania. But there is really nothing
to be frightened of, he does not overhear much; his mind is
usually off in the pages of Mad or Playboy in quest of some
new anecdote for his next speech.
Why should student political types lambast this adminis-tration
when negotiation and committee work so well?
Furthermore, it is difficult to be a step ahead of the fear-some
twosome. For years change was too fast for the
administration-establishment. Today, change is too fast for
the student establishment. Today, students are being
chided for conservatism. The university is moving at a
feverish pace.
Where does this leave student politics? That nefarious
haven for pre-law types and status seekers? The easy way
out would be to have our silly bi-monthly meetings and
conduct scholarly debates on that infamous volume. The
Newly Revised Roberts Rules of Order. If the new kids in
town want to do all the work, why should we worry, let
them — it's their job. Or we could use the Senate as the
educational vehicle it was meant to be. Yes, there are areas
which the President neglects during his daily treks, but,
more importantly there are many areas where student aid
can move Tulane a mite faster. The upspring of organiza-tions
such as the Student Foundation and Student Devel-opment
Fund is an indication that students don't want to
traipse through Tulane's gates, saunter through the class-room
doors for four years, only to stroll on out again never
to be heard from. There is the rude awakening, with a
tighter job market. Ten years from now Joe Alum will not
be measured by what Tulane was in 1977, but by what
Tulane is in 1987. Damn right it better get better.

UPTOWN ISLES
Living off campus is the kind of experience that makes
you take Nietzche, Woody Allen, or the Marquis Alger de
Sade seriously. I mean, if God does exist, he doesn't live in
my neighborhood. Or I should say neighborhood I lived in
before my landlady evicted me for attracting too many
roaches.
Oh, by the way, there is no such thing as a landlord.
Only landladies. Land "lords" left New Orleans with the
slaves, leaving a much more ruthless lot, the ladies, in their
stead to watch over their wholly owned blocks-right-off-
St. Charles. Landlords either went to start koala plantations
in Australia, fight Idi Amin over plutonium (to heat half of
their apartments and blow up the other half) or traded in
their leases for a harp to join the aforementioned non-exis-tent
God in the highest rent district of all. The last group by
the way are called landLords and hover around Cloud Nine
humming hymns and trading lots.
For some technical difficulty that would take a Legal Aid
Friend to interpret, I lost my $100 deposit at the same time I
lost my pig-impersonating roomie in Irby. Flaving lived
with, in and like garbage all summer, this seemed an agree-able
sacrifice.
44 / student life
Embarking on an apartment-hunting cruise through the
Uptown Isles with a torn-out, scratched-up, classified sec-tion
for an itinerary sheet leaves the noble explorer noth-ing
but sea-sick.
My fellow adventurer was a likeable lad who insisted
that it was possible, even probable to find a two-bedroom
fully furnished, luxury apartment, utilities paid, walking
distance to school, and occasional counseling service
(which he sincerely and dearly could have used) for less
than $70 a person. Ah well, there's always Carrollton Pare.
Mack was my roommate at Carrollton Pare. Mack was
not a Mack-the-Knife type, or a Mack-of-all-trades. He was
not even a Cracker-Mack. You might say he was a Mack-ass,
pure and simple.
I think Mack was a latent heterosexual. Underneath all
that Macky muck was a true virile, healthy (though quite
homely) beautiful person. After all, he did subscribe to
Gentleman's Quarterly, Hustler and Playboy (and Playgirl
and Viva too, but I promised not to get into that stuff).
Mack always thought it was cool to refer to himself as
"an old man." Mack was more like stale pudding than an
old man. To be an old man, you must first be a young man.
Mack had not quite reached that plateau, or else he prefer-red
to climb around it. Yes, stale pudding: the kind with an
exterior that is too hard to serve its purpose of being con-sumed,
yet too soft to withstand a sturdy jab from a sturdy
pinky, if you'd be crazy enough to want to stab stale pud-ding
in the first place.
student life / 45
Mack would pretend. He'd pretend to be studying
when he would watch "One Day at a Time" before
"Switch" came on. He would even pretend to be
interesting, relating the plot of "One Day at a Time."
Mack would pretend to comb his hair when he'd pick
at it, counting the number of hairs that would fall out.
Mack would love to pretend he'd been swimming
each day when he was having a casual love affair with
the middle-aged looney on the first floor by the
swimming pool. You know. The one who had a thing
for cacti. Their affair was spoken. It was truly a beau-tiful
thing between two people, really touching. I
caught them at it once. Sitting there, stabbing their
cacti lustfully with their spades, giggling, whispering.
Plants. They'd talk of plants. Plans for their plants.
Mack was in love with her, or her cacti. I'm not sure
which. He'd whisper and giggle with them, too.
The middle-aged lover gave Mack a cactus, once.
He whispered to if. Its name was Prick. "Prick. Get
it?" he would say to anyone who inquired as to its
nature or origin. Well, Prick died. Mack was the only
pudding I ever knew who could kill a cactus in two
weeks. It probably died of nervous exhaustion from
his whispering and giggling.
Mack left at the end of the semester to go sell car-pet
in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Ft. Wayne's claim to fame,
or at least Mack's claim, was that it was the home of
Major Burns from the TV show "MASH." I think Mack
is related to Major Burns. Mack's life ambition is to
own a carpet store. Maybe he is an old man. I didn't
mind him so much. He paid two-thirds of the rent.
Desperation is the key word in searching for an
apartment between semesters. Desperation drives
one to very extreme measures. My extreme measure
was living with a real desperado named )ay. Jay was a
suicidal, kleptomaniacal, pathological liar, bent on
becoming a good lawyer. He is also engaged to some
R.N. from Florida who looks like Groucho Marx and
doesn't have a sense of humor.
When Jay packed up and left one day after running
up a $100 plus phone bill, I discovered half of my mail
had been duly opened, inspected and processed by
his careful discriminating fingers. This included a
crate of Abba Zabba candy bars shipped from Califor-nia
which Jay decided didn't pass inspection so he ate
them himself. I had also discovered my donation of
four of my (worst) shirts and a dozen books to his pri-vate
Goodwill fund.
46 / student life
lay disappeared for two weeks during the middle
of the semester. He re-appeared early one morning in
another of my worst torn-up t-shorts (the kind of
clothes for which he had an affinity) to say he had
just returned from his father's funeral and was about
to kill himself. I talked sweetly to him, primarily out
of concern for my shirt. I didn't want it bloodied by a
dead man. They might even bury him in it if nobody
claimed him.
Well, )ay left permanently soon after that. I
received a letter from him a couple of weeks ago,
written in the highest legal jargon. You know, with
the "bastards" and the "assholes" thrown in with the
"quid pro quos." I think he misspelled "appropriate,"
approppriately (sic) enough. He writes he never liked
me, he doesn't miss me, I wasn't very nice to him, and
we should have taken another apartment, and not to
call his father again.
Oh yes, I forgot. His father is alive after all. Or at
least alive enough to talk to me on the phone about
lay's phone bill. I told him lay was sick which he
apparently was fully aware of, which is why he sent
him down south.
As for lay . . . well, half the time he's hiding out
from me and his landlady from last semester (to
whom he also owes some money) and a few other
people, undoubtedly. Half the time, I understand he
lives with Groucho. Many happy returns and all that.
I had to move out too. Now? Well, I'm hiding out
somewhere in one of these dorms on tampus . . .
just writing this . . . praying to a non-existent God,
praying for Mack, |ay, myself, and the landlords . . .
waiting for the next cruise through the tJptown Isles.

Pre-Med Blues
It is not easy being a pre-med at Tulane, or any-where
for that matter. Obviously, the competition is
extreme. It is estimated that in 1976-77, 42,000 pre-med
students across the country filed 365,000 appli-cations
at 117 United States medical schools — all
competing for 15,613 available first-year positions. It's
almost frightening to think that whatever you do,
there are 41,999 other pre-med students ardently
competing to be on the winning side of a 36 percent
acceptance rate.
The acceptance rate for Tulane graduates for 1975
was 52 percent — better than the average, but the
severity of competition remains. The pre-med's exist-ence
is one bounded by graphs, tables, and statistics:
"Acceptance to Medical School by Undergraduate
Major," "Acceptance Rates of Applicants by Age, Sex,
and Residence," "Undergraduate Grades of First Year
Medical Students" — cold, hard perimeters that only
too well make pre-meds ever aware of the competi-tion
they face.
As if the competition were not bad enough, his col-lege
peers don't help make the situation any better
for the pre-med. The propensity for creating stereo-types
seems to be innate human behavior, it seems
that the day a student makes up his mind to follow a
pre-med curriculum, he forever throws away his indi-viduality
and becomes instead another nameless pre-med.
His fellow students see him as a mindless, life-less
machine, demonically driven in a relentless and
diabolical pursuit of medical school acceptance.
Paramount in this machine's struggle is the attain-ment
of a stratospheric GPA. GPA is his life and
breath; a high GPA, an invaluable possession — a low
one, a bane to his existence. This machine has no
morals, no scruples, and will stop short of nothing in
the pursuit of GPA. He habitually studies for days on
end, gladly abstaining from such luxuries as socializ-ing,
eating, and sleeping — devices that serve only to
deter him in his quest. If studying alone will
> 3fcc^. —
60 / student life
satiate his GPA hunger, he has countless other under-handed
schemes to follow; justifying himself by rationaliz-ing
that whatever he does can't be wrong as long as it gets
him where he is going.
As a pre-med, I have had to live with this stereotype
stigma. As with all prejudice, it's a gross travesty to judge a
group by the actions of a few. Yes, the competition for
medical school is intense, all-consuming. But, pre-meds
are human. All over campus there are to be found students
of vastly different majors and post graduate objectives who
spend just as much (perhaps more) time studying than
even the most ardent pre-med. Just as easily, there are pre-meds
who, except for a common pursuit of medical school
acceptance, have absolutely nothing in common with the
pre-med stereotype. There are pre-meds involved in all
University activities, with diverse majors and equally div-erse
motivations for being pre-med. The pre-med curricu-lum
includes a year each of biology, physics, math, Inglish,
and two years of chemistry — beyond that the pre-med
student is as free as any other to personally formulate his
own college career.
As individuals, pre-meds should, idealistic jll\, possess
those qualities that most medical schools look for in a pro-spective
physician: personal integrity, motivation, matu-rity,
and dedication. Idealistic ally, his prime riiotivation for
being pre-med should be a sincere desire to apply his tal-ent
to the relief of suffering and the advancement of medi-cal
knowledge. Iciealislic ally, his purpose for coming t()
college should be the desire for increased knowledge;
knowledge to serve as a firm foundation on whic h to build
a medical career. Iclealism, however, has fiever fared well
in the real world. Nothing seems more incongruous to the
image of the pre-med stereotype than the image of the
ideal pre-med. I wonder why pre-meds cannot be optimis-tically
stereotyped by the actions of the tiiajoritv: those
who are honest, sincerely dedicated to the image of the
"ideal."

Dear Mom, Dear Dad,
I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear about
you and Dad. I just know you will get back
together again. I'm kind of sorry I couldn't have
been there to mediate or something, but on the
other hand, I'm glad you guys kept it in until I
was not there to suffer with you.
I really know how you feel. Mom. I know that
sounds crazy and you're saying to yourself "How
could you possibly have any earthly idea about
how I feel." But it's true. Mom. I don't know how
to tell you this, but well . . . here goes.
You know I've told you about Jack? That nice
boy from Omaha? Well, he just left me after ten
months of living together. Not only that, but he
left me paying the last month's rent on our apart-ment.
I don't know if he left me for someone
else, or not. I'd rather not think about that part.
Jack and I were together almost as long as Dad
and you since your last separation. I even used
your philosophy, "Keep 'em guessing." What
happens? Why are men like this? You can come
down here and live with me. Mom.
Your loving daughter,
Robin
Well, I'm all settled in and everything. I just
finished registration. Whew. Three hours of
being duly programmed and processed.
You'd be really proud of me. My schedule is
perfect. I can stay out late every night because
my first class isn't until 1:00 p.m. I'm taking two
independent studies courses, too. I've already
done half of the writing for both courses.
I know this appears to be a rather light course
load. On the contrary, however, I will be working
very hard this semester. I have lots of time to do
reading on my own, some writing and a lot of
reflection. Maybe even traveling, too.
I really need this time for some heavy thinking,
relaxing and contemplating to complete my edu-cational
experience. To really make it worth-while.
To have a little fun, too.
It's been a long time since I really thought
about myself, my place in the world, my purpose,
my life, my future, my soul, my existence, and so
forth.
I know you can tell by the tone of this letter I
am serious about this.
Fondly,
Manfred
P.S. Please send money.

more of this town. Lots of chicks, too.
By the way, I'm an alcoholic.
Dorms are a drag but dorm life's great. Sound
confusing? Well, they stick me in a tiny cubicle
with some nerd from Miami who just studies.
Too neat for words. But the guys on the floor are
great. Always sitting around having a good time.
Doin' lots of crazy things.
By the way, I smoke pot.
This one chick, Erika, a real beaut's hot for me.
Real hot. She's Scandinavian. Likes to do a lot of
weird things . . . kinky too. She's bigger (in a lot
of ways) than most chicks here. That husky bob-sled,
outdoors type.
By the way, I snort coke.
This week's gonna be rough. Pre-midterms.
Two exams, a paper, and a quiz. All this week. I'll
pull through, though. No sweat. Used to it, by
now. They do this all the time. Not even gonna
ask for an extension.
By the way, I'm on speed.
The weather here's fantastic. Not too hot, not
too cold, not too anything. That's how it is down
here. Not too anything. Moderation in all things
and that sort of thing.
By the way, I'm a moonie, I love you both and I
just had a wreck. My fault, D.W.I, (though I
wasn't really). It's cool.

Alive, Onstage, in Person
by Jim Quick
Ever since the fifth grade I have been a voyeur. An audit-eur,
as well, I suppose. It was in that year that my aunt took
me to see a high school production of Gilbert and Sulli-van's
"The Pirates of Penzance." Even though I remember
nothing of the plot, I cannot forget the soprano singing
"Poor Wandering One." Her presence was serene, her
voice was golden, and I was addicted. Here was more than
the vast flat image of Roy Rogers that I watched from the
first row of the Majestic. It was alive and onstage and in
person.
And now this year through two fine weeks in late March,
I have had the good luck to exercise my penchant for
watching once again, on seven separate nights. The Direc-tion
program can do wonderful things for a professional
looker. A friend of mine, whose sense I honor, thinks that I
am an unreconstructed schoolboy for taking such pleasure
from hieing myself over to McAlister Auditorium to wit-ness
what he feels to be little more than a rehashing of
stuff that has already had its hour on television and in the
pages of some of the better newspapers and magazines.
Disbelievers who would settle for the discourse of the sub-compact
electronic arena or the op-ed page of the New
York Times should be sentenced to "two" on the aisle. But,
of course, a confirmed disbeliever will not be touched by
the endorsement of a voyeur, not even by the volley of
Kudos that sound for the Direction series from the national
media that he likes to quote.

URBAN
Certainly things are said that have
been said before, but not when I was
there. When someone else was there,
for sure . . . Bella Abzug, La Dame
aux Chapeaux slaps her thigh and
darts her eyes at Moon Landrieu, and
three hundred of us watch the
exchange in the Kendall Cram Room,
after the main event at McAlister. As
Bella gives Moon his, and the tension
rises feverishly, I notice a middle-aged
man at my right in the last row
of chairs. Conservatively turned out
in a tan summer-weight suit, he
dozes, his ample chin resting just on
the knot of his figured tie. On the
breast pocket of his coat there is a
Direction identification badge. I look
to see. "Martin Abzug," it reads.

"Certain cities are far out of line.
They're not going to get more money.
There's no way of justifying more
money to places like New York City
where the poor are given $2,000 per
person — that's $8,000 for a family of
four."
"How come we couldn't have a mass
transit bill until 1970? How come we
haven't had a policy for building
renovation in the inner city? How
come we've never had a federal urban
bank? I'll tell you why. It's because of
special interest in the government!"
— Nathan Glazer —Bella Abzug

"It's the old Darwinian philosophy
thafs very much a pattern of life in the
poor areas of every big city. Even in
pblitics I understood all the way that it
was going to be me or the other guy.
When it came down to him or me, it
had to be him."

I have seen it on television too. Once when I was in high
school, my father settled into his usual chair to go through
the evening paper after dinner and looked up over the
pages to see me watching an interview with Truman
Capote, thinner then, less well-known in his pre-Cold
Blood days, but an original, nevertheless. The epicene
manner of this man distracted my no-nonsense old man
and he asked me what interest I had in all of this. When I
told him that I had read a book of his, Other Voices, Other
Rooms, my good gray father told me that I would be better
served by reading James Fenimore Cooper, and within a
few weeks presented me with a standard set.
Truman is more ample now, but no less an original,
hands forever shooing flies that are not there, tongue
continually moistening his lips. He is a standard now.
)ohnny Carson has him on, oh, half a dozen times each
year, and I have seen it on my stale living room cabinet;
but, from that pale piece of furniture I bring away no
memories that stick.

SPACE
Of course, there are disappointments. . . I cajoled my
seven year old son to come with me to see a real astronaut,
a man who had really been to the moon, Harrison Schmitt,
now Senator Schmitt from New Mexico. It is so easy to
forget that the frontiers that have been crossed in the
lifetime of a man of, well, early middle years, are no
borders at all for a kid of still tender years who was born
after Neil Armstrong's step onto the lunar surface. My boy
expected to see a man fully outfitted in moongarb, I guess,
and got, to his chagrin, a plain man, not unlike his dad,
who spewed homilies. Nonetheless I was delighted to find
that Carl Sagan, on the same program, was as beguiling in
person as he is in the pages of his books. What an
awesome prospect to hear him speculate about the
possibility of life in other Regions of the cosmos, while so
many of us struggle to make some sense of it here.
POLITICS
For those of us who are not used to
consorting with such personages as United
States' Ambassadors to the United Nations
we carry images of what these remote,
august figures must look like and how they
must deport themselves. They are so well
edited before they reach us that the
personality is erased from the person. No
wonder, then, that I should be puzzled at
how little like that image Andrew Young
really is as he sits, talks, readjusts himself
to his chair. I am brought to earth a bit and
given some measure of comfort by the
realization that this present man is, more
or less, another one of us.

BUCHWALD & TORKANOWSKY/
BUCKLEY VS. WILLS
Anyone who has not by now seen William
Buckley in his rhetorical agony cannot own a
television set. There is wit enough in his
column, to be sure, but his words alone are
no match for the bravuro choreography of his
platform manner. It is ambitious indeed, for
anyone to play opponent to him and expect to
land upright. The best logic fails when he
arches an eyebrow. His is perhaps a dying
art, wrenching the least tittle from his
argument with his postures. As I watched Gary
Wills attempt to come to terms with him, I wondered
what the whole debate might look like, word for
word, a transcript, without the visual appurtenances.
Wills would come off better, I suppose, in print,
but it would be just the dance card to the dance.
So I have had a healthy draught of what sustains
me. Others too, I would guess, or so many people
would not have put in so much work to get together
a program as ambitious as Direction. I thank them.
They have helped me stay alive.

Tulane University Theater
Tulane Theatre began an exciting season
with Tihe Country Wife, a restoration
comedy by William Wycherly. Mr. Horner,
played by Alvaro Freyre, begins a rumor
that he is sexually impotent so that his
seductions might be more easily
accomplished. He is particularly interested
in the spouse of Pinchwife. She is a pure
and simple country girl (played by Kathy
Paul) whose city husband tries to isolate
from other men's aggressions. Pinchwife
was portrayed by Sean Gubbins, a |YA
student from London, England.
Alexander Hunt and graduate student
Larry Deckel superbly acted in the
character roles of, respectively. Sir Jasper
Fidget (a ridiculous old man) and Sparkish
(a would-be wit). Excellent direction,
setting, lighting and costumes created the
most successful production of the season.

' The second production was Tango, by
Slawomir Mrozek. Originally created for
the Polish theatre. Tango deals with
decay of values to the point at which
brute force becomes the only effective
ruler. Michael Scahill, a new instructor
in the department, directed the cast of
seven. The unusual properties, excellent
stage business and a notable character
performance by Elizabeth Bayer created
a unique production.

Larry Deckel utilized the talents of David Farkas, a
professional actor, in an MFA production Lemon Sky by
Lanford Wilson. Two Tulane theatre students. Dale Allen
and Julie Martin were included in the cast. It also included
an efficient and interesting multi-level set by Steve Larson,
graduate student in design.
The arena theatre was the stage for a light musical.
Promenade, in March. The play written by Maria Irene
Fornes and Al Carmines featured Leo Jones as 105 and
Alvaro Freyre as 106, both escaped convicts. Their flight
takes them to several bizarre and delightful places. Local
critics praised the amount of musical talent of the
Promenade cast. Costumes and properties were colorful
and detailed especially added to the mood of a jungle
scene at the climax of the play. Music major Olga Merediz
received the "Best Character Actress" Award for the part of
Miss U and as a delightful toddler.

A Belgian play, Escurial by Michel de Ghelderode, was
the MFA directing project of Margaret Hahn. The tragic
farce featured Joe Mullane as the King of a decaying
castle in 16th Century Spain and Ben Prager as his fool.
TUT Players presented Vampire Scoop in April, an
original musical written by Tulane student Philip Parker
(President of TUT) and Jay Rusovich.
The season ended with two BFA projects. Billed
together on the same evenings, were Aria de Capo,
directed by Laurie Austin, and Cbimaera, a three-women
show with masks. The latter was put together by
Stella Curtis, Dale Allen and Mary Ann Meadows, each
helping to direct the play as well as starring in the
leading roles. Included in Chimaera were episodes from
several old English comedy plays, pieces from
contemporary drama, and some original scenes. Using
simple costumes and a minimum of props, the three
actresses struck a dramatic poise in which mood
strongly relied on their acting. They were entirely
successful.
An article in the HULLABALOO on the theatre
department was the highlight of the year. Interviews
with several faculty members and students revealed a
strong dissatisfaction with the administration of the
department head. Dr. Millie Barranger. Bad feelings
between instructors and students intensified. An
encouraging optimism is expressed by new TUT officers
elected for the 1977-78 year: Randy McKey, president;
Joe luzzolino, vice-president; Debbie Niederhoffer,
secretary; and Ben Prager, treasurer. Pulling the
department together should prove an interesting
challenge. — Kathy Segnar

1977 was to be the year that Tulane athletics would
finally turn itself around. The Hackney administration,
which had committed itself to building Tulane into a major
sports power, hired two new coaches and a new athletic
director.
Hindman Wall was named Athletic Director, taking over
the position formerly held by Rix Yard. Wall vowed to
change the image of Tulane athletics. He also anticipated
an end to financial losses through a more business-like
approach to the various programs.
Larry Smith, ex-assistant coach of football giants Michi-gan
and Arizona, was given the job of head football coach.
Smith promised Tulane an immediate winner and the
beginning of a winning tradition.
To assume the job of head basketball coach, Tulane
chose Roy Danforth. Danforth had made a name for him-self
at Syracuse where he led the school to six straight post-season
bids. He replaced Charles Moir, who left to take the
coaching job at Virginia Tech. However, with the loss of
Phil Hicks and the toughest schedule in Tulane history, it
was doubtful whether the team could improve on its previ-ous
season's record of 17-10.
In other sports, baseball coach Joe Brockhoff hoped to
continue the fine program Tulane had begun, even while
contending with a limited budget. The year before, Tulane
had set a school record of 23 wins and finished second in
the opening year of the Metro VI (now the Metro VII) con-ference.
The Women's athletic program made tremendous prog-ress
during the last school year. For the first time, the
women had scholarships, nine of them, for the three
sports. In 1977-78 the number will grow to 15.
Unfortunately, neither football nor basketball lived up to
its pre-season publicity; both suffering through losing sea-sons.
For football, the losing year meant a growing number
of dissatisfied students and increased pressure on Dr.
Hackney to discontinue the program entirely.

WALL
Hindman Wall took over the job as athletic director in
1976 with one principle objective in mind. Wall was
interested in making as many people as possible inter-ested
in Tulane's athletic programs. His job was to han-dle
the business and promotional end of the athletic
department.
Wall came to Tulane with impressive credentials.
Starting at Kansas State as assistant A.D., he later moved
to Cincinnati as head Athletic Director. At Cincinnati he
created a program that increased the average attend-ance
of 8,000 in 1%7 to 36,000 in 1973.
At Tulane, Wall must turn the athletic programs
around financially. He believes the potential is there: "I
believe the general attitude at Tulane is super, but I'm
no miracle person. A lot depends on winning. We even-tually
hope to wipe out the athletic deficit."
Wall, of course, was disappointed in the football sea-son,
but finds more hope in the other sports: "Naturally,
we would like to see them pay their own way. I'm realis-tic
enough to know that won't be the case. But I'm very
honest in saying I think football and basketball can be
profit producing and I feel baseball can break even, or
operate in the black. The potential is here. I know the
job can get done at Tulane if we present the right
image."
Part of that image is a network that Wall has estab-lished
of over fifty radio stations across the state to pro-mote
Tulane football and basketball. He also set up a TV
package of road football games and several basketball
games. More importantly, he feels that image includes
the Dome.
"You won't find a better stadium than the Dome. It
would cost a large sum of money to put Tulane Stadium
in playable condition. Plus you have daily maintenance.
We realize we can't make it playing our basketball
games in the Tulane Gym because of its size. Therefore,
we have to play as many games as possible in the Super-dome."
It remains to be seen whether Wall can succeed. It is
improbable that any success can come until the teams
start winning.

DANFORTH
A lot of people felt sorry for Roy Danforth when he
took the Basketball head coaching job at Tulane last
year. Danforth was coming to Tulane after being tre-mendously
successful at Syracuse, where he had led the
team to six straight post-season tournament bids. Tulane
figured to be quite a let down with the material availa-ble
to work with and the toughest schedule in the
school's history rapidly approaching.
Looking back on the 1976-77 season, Danforth did a
tremendous job. He took a team with fair talent and
showed them they could play with anybody. It was a
strange year, the team was only 10-18, but the season
has to be considered one of the most exciting ever.
Everything came together on January 22 when the
Wave played the number two team in the country, Cin-cinnati,
in the Dome. Nobody gave Tulane much of a
chance as the Wave had played unimpressive basketball
until then. Tulane went out and upset Cincinnati 78-75
for its greatest basketball win ever. For one day, Dan-forth
had turned it around. After the game he gave
credit to the students at the game, something he would
do throughout the year: "The students helped win this
game as much as anything. The players can reach back
for something extra when they have people yelling for
them like that."
The win accomplished something very important. It
got the Tulane students off their apathetic behinds. The
students were involved; screaming and yelling at the fol-lowing
games like never before. Danforth loved the
whole thing. At times during a game, he would stand up
and motion to the students section to get up and go
crazy, leading the cheers himself. They would respond
at times with a deafening roar, especially at the games in
the confines of the Tulane gym, which was packed for
the rest of the season.
Danforth set the foundation last year, and now he can
start to build. There have been many similarities
between his years at Syracuse and Tulane. His first two
years at Syracuse were losers, then he led them to six
great years. He is trying to stay on the same schedule
here.
"I see a lot of parallels to Syracuse so far. Last year was
a year I look back on with mixed emotion. I see four or
five games we should have won."
"Cummings had a great year. He was the first player to
lead the ccmference (Metro VII) in both rebounding and
scoring."
Danforth looks into the future and sees Tulane aver-aging
12,0(K) a game in the Dome. "You have to educate
the people. I was not satisfied with the overall support.
You have to think positive. Everything has to be positive.
The people of New Orleans and the students have to
believe we are always going to win. That is what we
have to get across. We must develop a winning attitude
at Tulane."

SMITH
Larry Smith's biggest mistake last year was that he
expected too much too quickly. He had coached previ-ously
at two schools with winning traditions (Arizona
and Michigan) but now he was coming to Tulane, where
most of the students didn't even want a football team.
Smith immediately was under great pressure to pro-duce
a winner. All the promotion and all the publicity in
the world is not going to put people in the stands, how-ever.
That will only come when the university has a win-ner.
Getting people to associate winning with Tulane
football would be the largest part of Smith's job.
It was extremely difficult for most Tulane people to
forget the horrendous 2-9 season the Wave had. What
made it so hard to accept was that the optimism of
Coach Smith had begun to spread to the fans. Thirty
thousand attended the Spring game on Smith's promise
of a wide-open, exciting and, more important, winning
brand of football. The tough questicm is trying to figure
out what went wrong?
The main problem may have been that Smith tried to
impose his previous standards on last year's team. Prior
to last season, his 1} years of coaching had seen only
one losing season. One important thing that must be
remembered is that it was Smith's first year as a head
(oach and some mistakes are to be expected. Smith
seems to have learned a great deal from the painful
experience of last year.
"We put loo much pressure on the kids last year and
that was wrong. We approached our first game with
Cincinnati (TU lost 21-14) like it was the Super Bowl. At
that time the first game was the key to the season. We
had to win the first one to gel it over the hump.
When you put all your eggs in one basket, like build-ing
that game up like a Super Bowl, well, it was just
wrong. That was all my fault, and I shouldn't have done
it."
What Smith also found out the hard way is it is going
to take more than just talk to make people accept the
football program. At the same time, however, he feels
he must loosen his win-at-all-costs attitude.
"I really didn't feel much pressure a year ago from the
media or the school administration to win, but I
expected to win. I applied that pressure.
"The approach has changed. I tell our players that the
most impc^rtant thing is to know that yc»u can look your-self
in the mirror and know you've done the best job
possible. We set goals, stress hard work, fun, pride and
class. Those things haven't changed. But we do have a
deeper understanding of the players and their capabili-ties.
They know us better and what we're teaching."
1977 will be a very important year in determining the
fate of Tulane football. Nothing short of a winning sea-son
will do. I he talk of, "we are making progress," will
not suffice anymore. I he fan potential is present, the
patience is not.

FOOTBALL
1976
The year that saw the coaching debut of Larry Smith was
one that everyone concerned woiild like to forget. Better
things were definitely expected from the 1976 Tulane foot-ball
season. The difficult thing to take about the season is
that Smith went into the year with so much optimism. The
problem was, this optimism rubbed off on almost every-one,
Tulane students included. This accounts for the stu-dents
bitter resentment of the horrendous 2-9 season the
Wave was to suffer through in 1976.
It looked as though things were going to be different.
Smith put his squad through a brutal spring practice, it all
ended with the annual spring game, which was played
before a huge turnout of over 30,000 in the Dome. The
team Tooked good, playing an aggressive, spirited brand of
wide-open football, another trait that Smith had promised.
This same feeling prevailed in August when preparation
began for the season opener on September 11 against Cin-cinnati.
It appeared that the Wave would be better pre-pared,
both mentally and physically than any Tulane team
in a long time. Smith went so far as to isolate the team for a
week in Covington, to make them concentrate even more
on the task ahead. Smith put a great deal of emphasis on
the first game. Perhaps he put too much emphasis on that
first game, playing it up as the key to the rest of the season.
Whatever the case, the team went into the first game
unbelievably tight, and lost the game because they made
too many mistakes, something that would haunt them the
rest of the year.
In looking back over the season, it is clear that the 21-14
loss to Cincinnati before 29,134 in the Dome, set the tone
for the rest of the year. Perhaps part of the reason the
Wave made so many errors was that they played such a
young team. They started a freshman. Tommy Hightower,
at quarterback, and 16 of the first 22 players in both offense
and defense would be back the following year.
The Cincinnati game was lost on fumbles, something the
Wave offense would not be able to overcome the whole
season. Over the season Tulane fumbled 35 times, losing
the ball 24 times. What made the fumbles hurt even more
^ivas that many of them came deep in Tulane's own terri-tory.
The loss to Cincinnati was followed by a humiliating 34-7
loss on the road to Mississippi. Tulane gave the ball away
six times. The Rebel running attack tore the Wave defense
apart for 394 yards.
There was one highlight for Tulane in the game as soph-omore
Reggie Scott broke a long run for the second week
in a row. Scott returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown
after returning one 57 yards against Cincinnati.
The Wave stretched the losing streak to three the next
week when Boston College beat them 27-3. It was obvious
the Smith era was not catching on as a crowd of only 20,235
showed up in the Dome. A positive thing that did come
out of the game was the play of freshman quarterback
Roch Hontas, who took over when Hightower was hurt
early in the game. In his first game, Hontas was 15 for 22
and finally got the Wave offense to move the ball.
Just when people were talking and 11, Tulane surprised
everyone with a 24-13 victory at Vanderbilt. Hontas was an
impressive 11 for 12, and for a change, the defense was
superb. The next week Tulane travelled to Syracuse trying
for two in a row. The game was played in horrible condi-tions
and Tulane lost 3-0 thanks to a missed call by the refs
that took away an early Tulane touchdown.
The next week was homecoming and 25,000 saw the
Wave beat a good Army team, 23-10. The Army game
would be the last time Tulane would win in 1976 as they
finished the season with five losses. However, in each of
those five games, the Wave was never really out of it. They
could never quite put it together. If the offense played
'Sports
sports / 171
well, the defense played poorly. And when the defense
would do the job, the offense couldn't move the ball.
After the Army game, Tulane journeyed to Georgia Tech,
where they have not won since 1933. Tulane played one of
their best games of the year and led Tech 16-14 with five
minutes to go. Two quick touchdowns ended the dream as
Tech won 28-16.
Tulane then came home for three straight home games
before LSU. First was a loss to Memphis State 14-7. The next
week the offense scored 28 points against West Virginia
but the defense gave up 32. Terry Looney got his first
action of the season and threw two touchdowns, of 72 and
68 yards. But as usual it wasn't enough. Rutgers came in
next with the longest winning streak in the country of 16
games. The Wave game then a decent game, but Rutgers
got away with a 29-20 victory.
It was finally time for LSU. A win over the Tigers would
do a lot to make people forget what had gone on earlier in
the year. Tulane went to Baton Rouge and played their best
game of the year. They lost 17-7, but with a few breaks it
was a game they could have won. Five times the Green
Wave had the ball inside the LSU 35 yard line. Only once
could Tulane score. It was a fitting end to the sorry year.
The Wave was close, but just didn't have enough to win.
One thing about a 2-9 year is that hopefully things can't get
much worse.

The 1976-77 Tulane basketball season was a strange one,
indeed. With first year coach Roy Danforth, fresh from Syr-acuse
where he turned that school into a major power, the
team posted what was from first glance a disappointing 10-
17 record. But there is much that must be looked at before
the season is fully understood and appreciated.
Even with the losing record, the team provided its fans
with the most exciting season ever. It featured an
extremely hard schedule, the Wave had to face such teams
as NCAA champion Marquette, ACC champ North Caro-lina,
SWC champ Arkansas, ACC runner-up Virginia, rivals
LSU and UNO, not to mention the teams they had to play
from the tough Metro Vil Conference, (Louisville, Cincin-nati,
Memphis State), of which Tulane is now a member.
Danforth built his squad around 6-11 center Jeff Cum-mings,
forward Arthur Bibbs and guard Pierre Gaudin. It
was obvious from the start that the play of these three
would decide the fate of the team. Their play would typify
the whole season, at times sensational, at times horrid, you
never knew what to expect.
Cummings, a senior, was the team's dominant player,
averaging 19.2 points and 12. rebounds a game. That was
also good enough to lead the Metro in those statistics.
Bibbs was steady the whole season, with his finest game a
sensational 34 point performance against Louisville. Gau-din
started off slowly, but finished strong to average 16
points per game.

The Wave played some tremendously exciting games.
The high point had to be the upset of Cincinnati 78-75, at a
time when Cincinnati was the second ranked team in the
country. After that game the Wave found they could play
with anybody. Not only did Tulane get confidence in
themselves, but Tulane students actually started believing
in them. They played two games in the padded cell known
as the Tulane gym, where 5,000 howling maniacs packed
the stands, that were classics. They lost two heartbreakers,
to Virginia 74-70 and Arkansas 76-73 in a game that saw
Tulane lead by 18 points.
The fan support in these games was unbelievable. Never
had there been such enthusiastic crowds at a Tulane sport-ing
event. The enthusiasm carried over to the city series
with UNO. 10,000 saw the Wave win the first game 82-75
behind Cumming's 28 points. Tulane lost the second game
73-72 on a 30-foot last second UNO basket.
The disappointing part of the season was the way Tulane
played on the road. They won only one game, looking mis-erable
in the process. Then there came the nightmare
against Marquette in the Dome, when the Wave lost 63-44
in a game that saw them score the staggering total of nine
points in the first half.
All in all, Danffirth built the framework for next year.
With the return of Gaudin and impressive freshman Carlos
Zuniga, and the continued fan support, big-time basketball
at Tulane is not far away.

It was awesome hitting that characterized the 1977
Tulane baseball team, the winningest team in Tulane his-tory,
The 28-8 Green Wave, coached by Joe Brockhoff,
broke 13 season and individual records during the regular
season. Almost all of these records were in offensive cate-gories
as Tulane depended almost solely on their hitting
during the season.
The most valuable players for the Wave were John Foto,
who led the team with a .351 average and sophomore
shortstop Barry Butera, who made a sensational return
from a knee operation which forced him to miss the 1976
season.
Butera hit .347 with a record eleven homers and 39 RBI's.
Butera's finest day came against national power South Ala-bama
when he went 6 for 6 in a doubleheader and slugged
4 homeruns, with three coming in one game.
The team demolished opposing pitching with 43 homer-uns,
shattering the previous record of 18. They scored close
to seven runs a game and had seven players hit over .300
while posting a team batting average of .294. Other stand-outs
for the Wave offensively were Larry Cabecieras (.328,
7 H.R.'s), Brian Butera (.312, 27 RBI's), and freshman David
Stokes (.310, 7 HR, 31 RBI). Mark Maher did a great job of
catching all season, while Mickey Retif led the team with
five game winning RBI's.
One of the big highlights of the season was a double-header
sweep over South Alabama, coached by ex-major
league star Eddie Stankey. The Wave bombed USA twice,
10-5 and 8-5. South Alabama at one time was the number
two team in the nation. A major disappointment was the
two losses to crosstown rival UNO. They lost two tough
ones to UNO, 5-4 in 11 innings and 7-4 before the largest
crowd ever to see Tulane baseball. The crowd was esti-mated
at 4,500.
The pitching was as good as it had to be, giving up four
runs a game, but was very tough in the clutch. Reliever
Barry Herbert broke the record for best ERA, posting a 0.87 j'
for 31 innings. Seniors Jackie Snell (6-1, 2.42 and 70 strike-outs)
and Vince De Grouttola, who had a 7-2 record, led
the pitching staff. Freshman Kenny Franinques was a pleas-ant
surprise as he had an 8-2 record.
The 1977 Wave baseball team will be remembered as the
most exciting, powerful and most likely the best Tulane
team ever.

SWIMMING
The 1977 Tulane swimming team had much more to be
concerned about than its meets against other schools. The
season was plagued by internal problems involving head
coach Richard Bower. A confrontation between the coach
and one of his swimmers ended in the investigation and
eventual dismissal of Bower.
Several versions of the clash have been offered by the
various sides and Coach Bower had begun legal action
claiming he was unfairly forced to resign by Tulane.
The team posted a season record of six wins and nine
losses, culminating its year by winning the Metro VII con-ference
meet in Louisville. Hopefully, the many internal
problems will be cleared up and the talent which is obvi-ously
available (having performed respectably under
adverse conditions) will bring a bright future to Tulane
swimming.

For the Love of Organization .
During the course of the Sunday morning telephone
tails to my parents it is never inconceivable for them to
hear me say something like "Well Mom and Dad, I had
dinner with Moshe Dayan last night," or "I just signed a
$24,(){)() contract for the printing of the 1976 Jamhalayj."
The learning experience for me at Tulane extended above
and beyond the "normal" realm of constant studying dur-ing
the week and taking a date to the ZBT dance on Friday
night. Indeed, the extracurricular program at Tulane offers
a great deal — but unfortunately this facet of what the Uni-versity
offers is explored by only a small minority of Tulane
students.
In the attempt to become another Bob Woodward,
Wolfman lack, or Hap Gaudi, a student has a much better
chance by working effectively with the college media
rather than satisfactorily completing courses in Publit
Speaking 102 or |ournalism 101 (which Tulane doesn't
offer). The HULLABALOO reporters are given the opportu-nity
to interview some of the most famous people in the
world today. While Tulane's radio station, WIUL, provides
a firm foundation for students who wish to pursue a career
in broadcasting. And of course, the Editor-in-chief of the
yearbook will attest to the fact that a background in year-book
editing is certainly a doorway to a copious number of
occupations.
No student body is complete without its government,
and at Tulane the Student Senate is the central governing
body. Not unlike the media on campus, the Student Senate
offers excellent preparation for the 'real world' — com-plete
with the perpetually smiling politician on the cam-paign
trail and the underhanded, occasicjnally slapstick
political maneuvering which perpetually exists in student
government. It is fortunate, in light of the capabilities of an
excellent electrical engineering school at Tulane, that stu-dent
government has yet to resort to complex bugging
apparatus.
The programming facet offers a wide variety of enter-tainment;
and perhaps the most noteworthy programming
organizations are those which bring speakers to the cam-pus.
Something can be said about an extracurricular pro-gram
that allows a student to interact with notables like
Dustin Hoffman, Bob Woodward, Carl Sagan, Andrew
Young, Tom Brokaw, Rod Sterling, Margaret Mead, David
Steinberg, and so on. Having an opportunity to spend time
with these people has been a much more significant part
of my own college career than attending a Recreation
Committee Frisbee Throwing Contest on the U.C. Quad.
The DIRECTION Series and the Lyceum Committee pro-vide
students with opportunities to see some great people
they would otherwise probably never get to see. Generally,
the Tulane University Center Program Board (TUCP), con-sisting
of 9 of SH programming committees, supplies the
campus with a full spectrum of entertainment. The rock
concerts, good movies and dances on campus are only a
fraction of the entertainment that the TUCP makes possi-ble.
2Q2 / organizations
In the area of club sports, Tulane should doff its hat to
the Lacrosse club. Since its inception, the Lacrosse team
remains undefeated in its game record. Lacrosse is only
one of the many club sports Tulane offers the students.
The Rugby Club, another club sport, is not only a group
of guys known for "eating their dead," they also throw the
greatest parties as well. The "1977 Informal Rugby Formal"
was the best party I have ever attended. I suppose the
Rugby team that parties well together, plays Rugby well
together.
Although they are two separate organizations, the Flying
Club and the Parachute Club best exemplify the diversity in
Tulane's extracurricular activities. There are few universi-ties
that would support the interests of students who hap-pen
to be interested in flying and parachuting. Last year
the Flying Club bought an airplane — financed by the stu-dent
activity fee. I am personally more content admiring
these young men in their flying machines from the ground,
but any students who wish to become members of either
organization must qualify by not having acrophobia.
The Sailing Club, Volleyball Club, Fencing Club, Judo
Club, Karate Club and Canoe Club are only a few among
several others I haven't mentioned. The vast selection of
f. ^fHi
S
club sports at Tulane makes the athletic extracurricular
program an outstanding feature of the University.
Tulane's volunteer organization, CACTUS, concerns
itself with the needs of unfortunate people in all parts of
the world. From promoting a blood donation drive for a
particular suffering individual, to collecting money for a
small town which has been severely hit by a sweeping tor-nado,
CACTUS rises to the call for help. Most certainly, the
limitless scope of volunteer services that CACTUS provides
makes this organization one of the largest and most impor-tant
on campus.
There are many other organizations at Tulane that I have
regretfully left out, not because they are any less important
to the University but because of the large number of them.
Extracurricular activities are a part of the college experi-ence
that should not be ignored by anyone. In many cases,
what is to be learned by meeting a famous person, writing
for a newspaper, campaigning for a school election, partic-ipating
in a "different" athletic event, is of more value to
an individual than what can be obtained from a textbook.

The dimly-lit, musty hall known as Publications
Alley was shattered by a most unseemly spectacle. It
was the beginning of the spring season and in its
honor five WTUL staff members of the coterie "BIZ-ZARRE"
were marching in goose-step fashion with
right arms extended to the tune "Springtime for Hit-ler."
The patriotic fervor with which they sang the lyr-ics
caused me to reflect on what a strange bunch of
loonies have always inhabited the studios and offices
of the student radio station located "in the bowels of
the University Center."
As a past general manager, I can distinctly recall
that I, too, was a party to the mass hysteria associated
so closely with WTUL. As a matter of fact, I can fre-quently
remember instances of lunacy which I had
instigated and led. Those events notwithstanding, I
should like to describe an evolutionary process which
has transformed a senior engineering student's idea
into an integral part of the Tulane community.
Although I can appreciate that the history of the stu-dent
radio station is hardly the most interesting of
topics, I feel it necessary to point out that as students
we have all read infinitely more boring literature. So,
read on.
In 1959 the aforementioned engineering student
with the somewhat ironic appellation of Henry Teles
(as in "Tell us what you played," etc.) came up with
the brilliant idea of having some engineering stu-dents
get together and construct a radio station for
the enjoyment of the entire Tulane community.
Unfortunately, Henry left school before he could wit-ness
his dream bear fruit. However, several other stu-dents
rose up to fill his shoes and in February, 1961, a
carrier current station (heard only in the dormitories)
sprang up on the AM dial at S50 KHZ. Unfortunately,
WAVE Radio was in short order forced to change its
call letters by the Federal Communications Commis-sion,
who pointed out that a Kentucky station already
was so-named. Thus, WTUL Radio came about — but
only as a second choice.
The technical operations were running along
somewhat smoothly, so the next order of business
was to institute a programming format.
When the first promotional copy of "Meet the Bea-tles"
was received at WTUL, the program director lis-tened
attentively to three cuts, removed the stylus
from the record and very capably smashed the album
into small pieces against the studio wall. "This s—
will never be played at my station!" he was heard to
exclaim. That event transpired some 13 years ago, and
in the interim the station's programming has made
some amazing turnabouts which the above-men-tioned
program director would hardly appreciate.
Thankfully enough, he is in the minority.
Progressive radio, as readily noted by the above
VVTUL's
16th
Year
2J4 / organizations
1500 Watts
for
the City
illustration, did not always find itself welcome at
VVTUL. In its early, formative years a strange combi-nation
of classical and folk music pervaded the air-waves.
The Limeliters, Jack Linkletter's "Hootenanny"
and Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in d" were prominent
mainstays. Slowly, though, rock music programs
gained a steady foothold on the station's format, and
in 1967 the Limeliters and "Hootenanny" records
went the way of John, Paul, George and Ringo —
smashed against the studio wall into small pieces.
The tiny ten-watt toy radio idea was the next logi-cal
progression of WTUL's madness. After much hard
work on the part of the general managers and engi-neers,
WTUL-FM became a reality on December 4,
1971. But the move to FM bore with it a catch-twenty-two.
Monies to maintain the operations, pay the sala-ries,
and provide for continuing expansion had previ-ously
come from advertising revenues. Now the sta-tion
was educational and non-commercial. No more
advertising money. VVTUL was up the proverbial
creek without a paddle.
Therefore, salaries were dispensed with and more
reliance was placed on the Student Senate for fund-ing.
Fund-raising projects to aid future expansion
were suggested such as the highly-successful Mara-thons.
The first VVTUL Marathon was an inauspicious
event in which one brave soul did a remote broadcast
from a shower stall in Monroe with the water running
and while holding a prophylactic-covered micro-phone
for six hours. However, when real money was
required to finance station operations, a more public
event was decided upon. Thus were born the Rock-
On Survival Marathons I, II, III, and IV. The most
memorable of these was the third event, where
VVTUL handled remote broadcasts on the Tulane
streakers. Thousands attended.
Suddenly things were going along much better
than expected. Money saved the day for the finan-cially-
ill student station. A new construction permit
was filled out, a new one-thousand watt transmitter
was ordered, and a new era was beginning to dawn
for the radio station.
On September 4, 1976, Congresswoman Lindy
Boggs flipped a simple little switch and citywide
reception of VVTUL had begun. That takes us to pres-ent
day where WTUL-FM continually pumps out the
finest in progressive programming at an amazing 1500
watts Effective radiated power.
So, if the "BIZZARRE" loonies wish to march up
and down the University Center halls singing "Spring-time
for Hitler," why shouldn't they? They are the
future leaders of WTUl and indeed have something
to be proud of. As a matter of fact, I think I might like
to sing along . . .

University Senate:
The Faculty
Comes of Age
It was extraordinary. In my three years
of covering University Senate meetings
for the HULLABALOO, nothing quite
like it had ever happened. It was at their
February meeting when the Senate,
composed mainly of faculty, was
presented the University's budget for
fiscal 1977-78. The budget allowed for a
wopping ¥4 of a million dollar deficit for
the intercollegiate athletic program,
with most of the deficit attributed to
football.
President Hackney went through the
mechanics of asking the faculty
representatives for their tacit approval
which was necessary before the budget
could be presented to the Board of
Administrators. The President
confidently told his professorial
colleagues that next year would be
different — the beginning of the end of
massive deficits which had plagued the
Athletic department for the last five
years. It quickly became evident,
however, that this time the faculty were
not buying the story. Some professors
defiantly confronted the President.
258 /faculty
"/ always thought that when a department
overran its budget into a deficit that the
deficit was carried over until the next year.
This is not being done in Athletics, is it?"—
Professor Henry Mason, Political Science
The President quickly reassured the Senate
that the new coaching staff of the football
team had the utmost confidence that they
could produce a winning season in 1977. It
would be the beginning of a new golden age
of Green Wave football. President Hackney
was asking for a vote of confidence in his
commitment to rebuild the program. But the
faculty was not sympathetic.
"Why all this faith in a change in
personnel? A 2-9 record is still a 2-9 record. I
don't understand what all this football
enthusiasm is about. What we are doing now
is just an act of faith. "— Professor William
Cwyn, Political Science
It's difficult to determine what finally
caused the faculty to erupt at this particular
meeting. Perhaps initial stirrings of
discension began when they were informed
earlier in the meeting that the athletic deficit
for this year would be the largest deficit in
the history of the University, due to the fact
that the officials of the Athletic Department
had neglected to include a number of
expenses in their original fiscal projection
and because of a number of cost overruns.
The original 1976-77 athletic deficit had been
projected to be S>f>(>6,,398. By the time the final
figures rolled in, the athletic deficit crested at
somewhere around $1,12 },498 — almost
twice the figure the Athletic Department had
originally predicted.
Secondly, the year had not been a
particularly good one for academics. During
the first semester the Louisiana State Board of
Regents had evaluated Tulane's graduate
chemistry and physics departments in
comparison to similar departments across the
country. The Board recommended that the
two departments be closed since they were
in such bad condition, citing a lack of
funding as the primar> c ulpril. In another
study conducted by the Association of
Research Libraries the Howard Tillon Library
was measured against the libraries of 'M)
comparable universities. lulane's lihrar\
ranked last in nearly every calegor\ inc luding
acquisition of tww periodicals and books,
total expenditures for the library, etc. "It is an
amusing comparison between Ibis year's
athletic defic it and the amount of money
needed to bring the library up lo the
median." Professor (dward Partridge, E riglish.
Chairman of the University Senate
Committee of I ibraries.
furthermore, the faculty resented the
athletic defic it bee ause of this effect on their
own financ iai well-being.
Tulane professors continued to be among
the lowest p.iici tac ult\ of .un major
university across llu- tialion.
faculty / 259
260 / faculty
All of this aside, the very
existence of an athletic deficit was
completely antithetical to the
purpose of the Senate. As
Professor Mason argued in the
meeting that day, the Senate's
budgetary function is to determine
how the University's financial
resources can best be spent in the
service of its academic needs.
What the faculty was saying was
that academic needs cannot be
met while an athletic deficit
continues.
By the end of the meeting, the
faculty began to seriously
question, in light of these facts, if
the intercollegiate football
program was worth continuing
another year. The President,
however, stood his ground.
He was able to gain the support
of the Senate's own Budgetary
Review Committee and Athletic
Committee and thus contain
faculty opposition against
continued funding of the program
for at least one more year.
Before the Senate voted to
approve the 1977-78 athletic
deficit, however. Professor Gwyn
evoked a pledge from his
colleagues that immediately
following the 1977 football season,
the University Senate would reach
a definite conclusion about the
continuation of the intercollegiate
football program.
Said Gwyn, "Before we take
another step we must analyze the
entire program, before it becomes
our own Vietnam."
The February meeting was not
typical of the normal proceedings
of the University Senate. But it was
a dramatic example of the type of
dilemma facing the faculty in 1977
and in tne years ahead. The faculty
will have to cooperate with
President Hackney and his staff as
they gel on with the business of
building the University. The
faculty must also remain
adamantly opposed to any plans
for progress whic h sac rifice
academics in the process, the
continued development of lulane
University as t\n institution of
higher educ alion lies in the
successful negotiation of both
philosophies.

TULANE CIRCA 1970/74
A Study of
Near-Ancient History
by Jon Birge
Look around this campus at the kids today and what do
you see? Everyone in their alligator T-shirts with coordi-nated
tennis shorts. The main concern for most people
seems to be their suntans and Maple Street on Thursday
night. The only underground movements: more free beer
and a Gucci franchise for the bookstore. It amazes me that
the school could discontinue quarter beer night in the Rat
without having a major riot. It also amazes me that New-comb
still has that ridiculous plus-minus grading system.
Hard to believe that only a few years ago we were trying
to get some real changes made . . .
Mudent life
student life / 13
TLF was more a vacation from classes than anything else
for most people. It started as a political issue — the bomb-ing
of southeast Asia — and ended by being a fight over
dorm hours and "amnesty" for those who'd had the audac-ity
to spend the whole night in the U.C. They might have
proved something by burning down the ROTC Building
but to look at the weekly marches down McAlister today,
you'd never know it. it was the night Jerry Rubin spoke at
McAlister, some guys sneaked into the barracks and set
them on fire. Although no one was even officially blamed
— a bunch of people took credit for it. In fact, even now in
1977, there is someone running around bragging that his

and once or twice a week Irby would assail Phelps in a
dorm war. The closest girls lived in Patterson, and they
usually added their own yells to the melee. Wars in
those days were much more serious than the screaming
that goes on now. Among the arms was a catapult for
water balloons made of surgical tubing which could
send a balloon well over the top of Phelps. The catapult
was tied between two
uprights on the Irby balcony,
pulled back through an open
window, then released. An
engineering student who
constructed it swore he
could put a balloon into the
Sugar Bowl. The catapult was
dismantled in 1972 after four
plate glass windows in
Phelps were shattered.
The better trick of the Irby-ites
was to send a raiding
party over to Phelps with a
bunch of bottle rockets and
firecrackers to rouse the
freshmen around 11:30-12:00.
In retaliation, they would
come pouring out of the
dorm with toilet paper, eggs
and other missiles to charge
over to Irby. In preparation,
the guys at Irby would all
have their study lamps
clamped to the balcony rail-ing,
making it impossible for
the freshmen to see their tar-gets.
Irby would then be free
to pour, spit, throw and uri-nate
on the Phelps raiders at
will. The fourth-floor crew had a hose running from one
of the showers and the advantage of gravity. Usually
some fireworks were thrown, and one year some turkey
started throwing chairs and a bicycle over the side.

UPTOWN ISLES
Living off campus is the kind of experience that makes
you take Nietzche, Woody Allen, or the Marquis Alger de
Sade seriously. I mean, if God does exist, he doesn't live in
my neighborhood. Or I should say neighborhood I lived in
before my landlady evicted me for attracting too many
roaches.
Oh, by the way, there is no such thing as a landlord.
Only landladies. Land "lords" left New Orleans with the
slaves, leaving a much more ruthless lot, the ladies, in their
stead to watch over their wholly owned blocks-right-off-
St. Charles. Landlords either went to start koala plantations
in Australia, fight Idi Amin over plutonium (to heat half of
their apartments and blow up the other half) or traded in
their leases for a harp to join the aforementioned non-exis-tent
God in the highest rent district of all. The last group by
the way are called landLords and hover around Cloud Nine
humming hymns and trading lots.
For some technical difficulty that would take a Legal Aid
Friend to interpret, I lost my $100 deposit at the same time I
lost my pig-impersonating roomie in Irby. Flaving lived
with, in and like garbage all summer, this seemed an agree-able
sacrifice.
44 / student life
Embarking on an apartment-hunting cruise through the
Uptown Isles with a torn-out, scratched-up, classified sec-tion
for an itinerary sheet leaves the noble explorer noth-ing
but sea-sick.
My fellow adventurer was a likeable lad who insisted
that it was possible, even probable to find a two-bedroom
fully furnished, luxury apartment, utilities paid, walking
distance to school, and occasional counseling service
(which he sincerely and dearly could have used) for less
than $70 a person. Ah well, there's always Carrollton Pare.
Mack was my roommate at Carrollton Pare. Mack was
not a Mack-the-Knife type, or a Mack-of-all-trades. He was
not even a Cracker-Mack. You might say he was a Mack-ass,
pure and simple.
I think Mack was a latent heterosexual. Underneath all
that Macky muck was a true virile, healthy (though quite
homely) beautiful person. After all, he did subscribe to
Gentleman's Quarterly, Hustler and Playboy (and Playgirl
and Viva too, but I promised not to get into that stuff).
Mack always thought it was cool to refer to himself as
"an old man." Mack was more like stale pudding than an
old man. To be an old man, you must first be a young man.
Mack had not quite reached that plateau, or else he prefer-red
to climb around it. Yes, stale pudding: the kind with an
exterior that is too hard to serve its purpose of being con-sumed,
yet too soft to withstand a sturdy jab from a sturdy
pinky, if you'd be crazy enough to want to stab stale pud-ding
in the first place.
student life / 45
Mack would pretend. He'd pretend to be studying
when he would watch "One Day at a Time" before
"Switch" came on. He would even pretend to be
interesting, relating the plot of "One Day at a Time."
Mack would pretend to comb his hair when he'd pick
at it, counting the number of hairs that would fall out.
Mack would love to pretend he'd been swimming
each day when he was having a casual love affair with
the middle-aged looney on the first floor by the
swimming pool. You know. The one who had a thing
for cacti. Their affair was spoken. It was truly a beau-tiful
thing between two people, really touching. I
caught them at it once. Sitting there, stabbing their
cacti lustfully with their spades, giggling, whispering.
Plants. They'd talk of plants. Plans for their plants.
Mack was in love with her, or her cacti. I'm not sure
which. He'd whisper and giggle with them, too.
The middle-aged lover gave Mack a cactus, once.
He whispered to if. Its name was Prick. "Prick. Get
it?" he would say to anyone who inquired as to its
nature or origin. Well, Prick died. Mack was the only
pudding I ever knew who could kill a cactus in two
weeks. It probably died of nervous exhaustion from
his whispering and giggling.
Mack left at the end of the semester to go sell car-pet
in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Ft. Wayne's claim to fame,
or at least Mack's claim, was that it was the home of
Major Burns from the TV show "MASH." I think Mack
is related to Major Burns. Mack's life ambition is to
own a carpet store. Maybe he is an old man. I didn't
mind him so much. He paid two-thirds of the rent.
Desperation is the key word in searching for an
apartment between semesters. Desperation drives
one to very extreme measures. My extreme measure
was living with a real desperado named )ay. Jay was a
suicidal, kleptomaniacal, pathological liar, bent on
becoming a good lawyer. He is also engaged to some
R.N. from Florida who looks like Groucho Marx and
doesn't have a sense of humor.
When Jay packed up and left one day after running
up a $100 plus phone bill, I discovered half of my mail
had been duly opened, inspected and processed by
his careful discriminating fingers. This included a
crate of Abba Zabba candy bars shipped from Califor-nia
which Jay decided didn't pass inspection so he ate
them himself. I had also discovered my donation of
four of my (worst) shirts and a dozen books to his pri-vate
Goodwill fund.
46 / student life
lay disappeared for two weeks during the middle
of the semester. He re-appeared early one morning in
another of my worst torn-up t-shorts (the kind of
clothes for which he had an affinity) to say he had
just returned from his father's funeral and was about
to kill himself. I talked sweetly to him, primarily out
of concern for my shirt. I didn't want it bloodied by a
dead man. They might even bury him in it if nobody
claimed him.
Well, )ay left permanently soon after that. I
received a letter from him a couple of weeks ago,
written in the highest legal jargon. You know, with
the "bastards" and the "assholes" thrown in with the
"quid pro quos." I think he misspelled "appropriate,"
approppriately (sic) enough. He writes he never liked
me, he doesn't miss me, I wasn't very nice to him, and
we should have taken another apartment, and not to
call his father again.
Oh yes, I forgot. His father is alive after all. Or at
least alive enough to talk to me on the phone about
lay's phone bill. I told him lay was sick which he
apparently was fully aware of, which is why he sent
him down south.
As for lay . . . well, half the time he's hiding out
from me and his landlady from last semester (to
whom he also owes some money) and a few other
people, undoubtedly. Half the time, I understand he
lives with Groucho. Many happy returns and all that.
I had to move out too. Now? Well, I'm hiding out
somewhere in one of these dorms on tampus . . .
just writing this . . . praying to a non-existent God,
praying for Mack, |ay, myself, and the landlords . . .
waiting for the next cruise through the tJptown Isles.

Pre-Med Blues
It is not easy being a pre-med at Tulane, or any-where
for that matter. Obviously, the competition is
extreme. It is estimated that in 1976-77, 42,000 pre-med
students across the country filed 365,000 appli-cations
at 117 United States medical schools — all
competing for 15,613 available first-year positions. It's
almost frightening to think that whatever you do,
there are 41,999 other pre-med students ardently
competing to be on the winning side of a 36 percent
acceptance rate.
The acceptance rate for Tulane graduates for 1975
was 52 percent — better than the average, but the
severity of competition remains. The pre-med's exist-ence
is one bounded by graphs, tables, and statistics:
"Acceptance to Medical School by Undergraduate
Major," "Acceptance Rates of Applicants by Age, Sex,
and Residence," "Undergraduate Grades of First Year
Medical Students" — cold, hard perimeters that only
too well make pre-meds ever aware of the competi-tion
they face.
As if the competition were not bad enough, his col-lege
peers don't help make the situation any better
for the pre-med. The propensity for creating stereo-types
seems to be innate human behavior, it seems
that the day a student makes up his mind to follow a
pre-med curriculum, he forever throws away his indi-viduality
and becomes instead another nameless pre-med.
His fellow students see him as a mindless, life-less
machine, demonically driven in a relentless and
diabolical pursuit of medical school acceptance.
Paramount in this machine's struggle is the attain-ment
of a stratospheric GPA. GPA is his life and
breath; a high GPA, an invaluable possession — a low
one, a bane to his existence. This machine has no
morals, no scruples, and will stop short of nothing in
the pursuit of GPA. He habitually studies for days on
end, gladly abstaining from such luxuries as socializ-ing,
eating, and sleeping — devices that serve only to
deter him in his quest. If studying alone will
> 3fcc^. —
60 / student life
satiate his GPA hunger, he has countless other under-handed
schemes to follow; justifying himself by rationaliz-ing
that whatever he does can't be wrong as long as it gets
him where he is going.
As a pre-med, I have had to live with this stereotype
stigma. As with all prejudice, it's a gross travesty to judge a
group by the actions of a few. Yes, the competition for
medical school is intense, all-consuming. But, pre-meds
are human. All over campus there are to be found students
of vastly different majors and post graduate objectives who
spend just as much (perhaps more) time studying than
even the most ardent pre-med. Just as easily, there are pre-meds
who, except for a common pursuit of medical school
acceptance, have absolutely nothing in common with the
pre-med stereotype. There are pre-meds involved in all
University activities, with diverse majors and equally div-erse
motivations for being pre-med. The pre-med curricu-lum
includes a year each of biology, physics, math, Inglish,
and two years of chemistry — beyond that the pre-med
student is as free as any other to personally formulate his
own college career.
As individuals, pre-meds should, idealistic jll\, possess
those qualities that most medical schools look for in a pro-spective
physician: personal integrity, motivation, matu-rity,
and dedication. Idealistic ally, his prime riiotivation for
being pre-med should be a sincere desire to apply his tal-ent
to the relief of suffering and the advancement of medi-cal
knowledge. Iciealislic ally, his purpose for coming t()
college should be the desire for increased knowledge;
knowledge to serve as a firm foundation on whic h to build
a medical career. Iclealism, however, has fiever fared well
in the real world. Nothing seems more incongruous to the
image of the pre-med stereotype than the image of the
ideal pre-med. I wonder why pre-meds cannot be optimis-tically
stereotyped by the actions of the tiiajoritv: those
who are honest, sincerely dedicated to the image of the
"ideal."

Alive, Onstage, in Person
by Jim Quick
Ever since the fifth grade I have been a voyeur. An audit-eur,
as well, I suppose. It was in that year that my aunt took
me to see a high school production of Gilbert and Sulli-van's
"The Pirates of Penzance." Even though I remember
nothing of the plot, I cannot forget the soprano singing
"Poor Wandering One." Her presence was serene, her
voice was golden, and I was addicted. Here was more than
the vast flat image of Roy Rogers that I watched from the
first row of the Majestic. It was alive and onstage and in
person.
And now this year through two fine weeks in late March,
I have had the good luck to exercise my penchant for
watching once again, on seven separate nights. The Direc-tion
program can do wonderful things for a professional
looker. A friend of mine, whose sense I honor, thinks that I
am an unreconstructed schoolboy for taking such pleasure
from hieing myself over to McAlister Auditorium to wit-ness
what he feels to be little more than a rehashing of
stuff that has already had its hour on television and in the
pages of some of the better newspapers and magazines.
Disbelievers who would settle for the discourse of the sub-compact
electronic arena or the op-ed page of the New
York Times should be sentenced to "two" on the aisle. But,
of course, a confirmed disbeliever will not be touched by
the endorsement of a voyeur, not even by the volley of
Kudos that sound for the Direction series from the national
media that he likes to quote.

Certainly things are said that have
been said before, but not when I was
there. When someone else was there,
for sure . . . Bella Abzug, La Dame
aux Chapeaux slaps her thigh and
darts her eyes at Moon Landrieu, and
three hundred of us watch the
exchange in the Kendall Cram Room,
after the main event at McAlister. As
Bella gives Moon his, and the tension
rises feverishly, I notice a middle-aged
man at my right in the last row
of chairs. Conservatively turned out
in a tan summer-weight suit, he
dozes, his ample chin resting just on
the knot of his figured tie. On the
breast pocket of his coat there is a
Direction identification badge. I look
to see. "Martin Abzug," it reads.

They're not going to get more money.
There's no way of justifying more

four."
"How come we couldn't have a mass

haven't had a policy for building
renovation in the inner city? How
come we've never had a federal urban

I have seen it on television too. Once when I was in high
school, my father settled into his usual chair to go through
the evening paper after dinner and looked up over the
pages to see me watching an interview with Truman
Capote, thinner then, less well-known in his pre-Cold
Blood days, but an original, nevertheless. The epicene
manner of this man distracted my no-nonsense old man
and he asked me what interest I had in all of this. When I
told him that I had read a book of his, Other Voices, Other
Rooms, my good gray father told me that I would be better
served by reading James Fenimore Cooper, and within a
few weeks presented me with a standard set.
Truman is more ample now, but no less an original,
hands forever shooing flies that are not there, tongue
continually moistening his lips. He is a standard now.
)ohnny Carson has him on, oh, half a dozen times each
year, and I have seen it on my stale living room cabinet;
but, from that pale piece of furniture I bring away no
memories that stick.

SPACE
Of course, there are disappointments. . . I cajoled my
seven year old son to come with me to see a real astronaut,
a man who had really been to the moon, Harrison Schmitt,
now Senator Schmitt from New Mexico. It is so easy to
forget that the frontiers that have been crossed in the
lifetime of a man of, well, early middle years, are no
borders at all for a kid of still tender years who was born
after Neil Armstrong's step onto the lunar surface. My boy
expected to see a man fully outfitted in moongarb, I guess,
and got, to his chagrin, a plain man, not unlike his dad,
who spewed homilies. Nonetheless I was delighted to find
that Carl Sagan, on the same program, was as beguiling in
person as he is in the pages of his books. What an
awesome prospect to hear him speculate about the
possibility of life in other Regions of the cosmos, while so
many of us struggle to make some sense of it here.
POLITICS
For those of us who are not used to
consorting with such personages as United
States' Ambassadors to the United Nations
we carry images of what these remote,
august figures must look like and how they
must deport themselves. They are so well
edited before they reach us that the
personality is erased from the person. No
wonder, then, that I should be puzzled at
how little like that image Andrew Young
really is as he sits, talks, readjusts himself
to his chair. I am brought to earth a bit and
given some measure of comfort by the
realization that this present man is, more
or less, another one of us.

Tulane University Theater
Tulane Theatre began an exciting season
with Tihe Country Wife, a restoration
comedy by William Wycherly. Mr. Horner,
played by Alvaro Freyre, begins a rumor
that he is sexually impotent so that his
seductions might be more easily
accomplished. He is particularly interested
in the spouse of Pinchwife. She is a pure
and simple country girl (played by Kathy
Paul) whose city husband tries to isolate
from other men's aggressions. Pinchwife
was portrayed by Sean Gubbins, a |YA
student from London, England.
Alexander Hunt and graduate student
Larry Deckel superbly acted in the
character roles of, respectively. Sir Jasper
Fidget (a ridiculous old man) and Sparkish
(a would-be wit). Excellent direction,
setting, lighting and costumes created the
most successful production of the season.

Larry Deckel utilized the talents of David Farkas, a
professional actor, in an MFA production Lemon Sky by
Lanford Wilson. Two Tulane theatre students. Dale Allen
and Julie Martin were included in the cast. It also included
an efficient and interesting multi-level set by Steve Larson,
graduate student in design.
The arena theatre was the stage for a light musical.
Promenade, in March. The play written by Maria Irene
Fornes and Al Carmines featured Leo Jones as 105 and
Alvaro Freyre as 106, both escaped convicts. Their flight
takes them to several bizarre and delightful places. Local
critics praised the amount of musical talent of the
Promenade cast. Costumes and properties were colorful
and detailed especially added to the mood of a jungle
scene at the climax of the play. Music major Olga Merediz
received the "Best Character Actress" Award for the part of
Miss U and as a delightful toddler.

A Belgian play, Escurial by Michel de Ghelderode, was
the MFA directing project of Margaret Hahn. The tragic
farce featured Joe Mullane as the King of a decaying
castle in 16th Century Spain and Ben Prager as his fool.
TUT Players presented Vampire Scoop in April, an
original musical written by Tulane student Philip Parker
(President of TUT) and Jay Rusovich.
The season ended with two BFA projects. Billed
together on the same evenings, were Aria de Capo,
directed by Laurie Austin, and Cbimaera, a three-women
show with masks. The latter was put together by
Stella Curtis, Dale Allen and Mary Ann Meadows, each
helping to direct the play as well as starring in the
leading roles. Included in Chimaera were episodes from
several old English comedy plays, pieces from
contemporary drama, and some original scenes. Using
simple costumes and a minimum of props, the three
actresses struck a dramatic poise in which mood
strongly relied on their acting. They were entirely
successful.
An article in the HULLABALOO on the theatre
department was the highlight of the year. Interviews
with several faculty members and students revealed a
strong dissatisfaction with the administration of the
department head. Dr. Millie Barranger. Bad feelings
between instructors and students intensified. An
encouraging optimism is expressed by new TUT officers
elected for the 1977-78 year: Randy McKey, president;
Joe luzzolino, vice-president; Debbie Niederhoffer,
secretary; and Ben Prager, treasurer. Pulling the
department together should prove an interesting
challenge. — Kathy Segnar

1977 was to be the year that Tulane athletics would
finally turn itself around. The Hackney administration,
which had committed itself to building Tulane into a major
sports power, hired two new coaches and a new athletic
director.
Hindman Wall was named Athletic Director, taking over
the position formerly held by Rix Yard. Wall vowed to
change the image of Tulane athletics. He also anticipated
an end to financial losses through a more business-like
approach to the various programs.
Larry Smith, ex-assistant coach of football giants Michi-gan
and Arizona, was given the job of head football coach.
Smith promised Tulane an immediate winner and the
beginning of a winning tradition.
To assume the job of head basketball coach, Tulane
chose Roy Danforth. Danforth had made a name for him-self
at Syracuse where he led the school to six straight post-season
bids. He replaced Charles Moir, who left to take the
coaching job at Virginia Tech. However, with the loss of
Phil Hicks and the toughest schedule in Tulane history, it
was doubtful whether the team could improve on its previ-ous
season's record of 17-10.
In other sports, baseball coach Joe Brockhoff hoped to
continue the fine program Tulane had begun, even while
contending with a limited budget. The year before, Tulane
had set a school record of 23 wins and finished second in
the opening year of the Metro VI (now the Metro VII) con-ference.
The Women's athletic program made tremendous prog-ress
during the last school year. For the first time, the
women had scholarships, nine of them, for the three
sports. In 1977-78 the number will grow to 15.
Unfortunately, neither football nor basketball lived up to
its pre-season publicity; both suffering through losing sea-sons.
For football, the losing year meant a growing number
of dissatisfied students and increased pressure on Dr.
Hackney to discontinue the program entirely.

WALL
Hindman Wall took over the job as athletic director in
1976 with one principle objective in mind. Wall was
interested in making as many people as possible inter-ested
in Tulane's athletic programs. His job was to han-dle
the business and promotional end of the athletic
department.
Wall came to Tulane with impressive credentials.
Starting at Kansas State as assistant A.D., he later moved
to Cincinnati as head Athletic Director. At Cincinnati he
created a program that increased the average attend-ance
of 8,000 in 1%7 to 36,000 in 1973.
At Tulane, Wall must turn the athletic programs
around financially. He believes the potential is there: "I
believe the general attitude at Tulane is super, but I'm
no miracle person. A lot depends on winning. We even-tually
hope to wipe out the athletic deficit."
Wall, of course, was disappointed in the football sea-son,
but finds more hope in the other sports: "Naturally,
we would like to see them pay their own way. I'm realis-tic
enough to know that won't be the case. But I'm very
honest in saying I think football and basketball can be
profit producing and I feel baseball can break even, or
operate in the black. The potential is here. I know the
job can get done at Tulane if we present the right
image."
Part of that image is a network that Wall has estab-lished
of over fifty radio stations across the state to pro-mote
Tulane football and basketball. He also set up a TV
package of road football games and several basketball
games. More importantly, he feels that image includes
the Dome.
"You won't find a better stadium than the Dome. It
would cost a large sum of money to put Tulane Stadium
in playable condition. Plus you have daily maintenance.
We realize we can't make it playing our basketball
games in the Tulane Gym because of its size. Therefore,
we have to play as many games as possible in the Super-dome."
It remains to be seen whether Wall can succeed. It is
improbable that any success can come until the teams
start winning.

DANFORTH
A lot of people felt sorry for Roy Danforth when he
took the Basketball head coaching job at Tulane last
year. Danforth was coming to Tulane after being tre-mendously
successful at Syracuse, where he had led the
team to six straight post-season tournament bids. Tulane
figured to be quite a let down with the material availa-ble
to work with and the toughest schedule in the
school's history rapidly approaching.
Looking back on the 1976-77 season, Danforth did a
tremendous job. He took a team with fair talent and
showed them they could play with anybody. It was a
strange year, the team was only 10-18, but the season
has to be considered one of the most exciting ever.
Everything came together on January 22 when the
Wave played the number two team in the country, Cin-cinnati,
in the Dome. Nobody gave Tulane much of a
chance as the Wave had played unimpressive basketball
until then. Tulane went out and upset Cincinnati 78-75
for its greatest basketball win ever. For one day, Dan-forth
had turned it around. After the game he gave
credit to the students at the game, something he would
do throughout the year: "The students helped win this
game as much as anything. The players can reach back
for something extra when they have people yelling for
them like that."
The win accomplished something very important. It
got the Tulane students off their apathetic behinds. The
students were involved; screaming and yelling at the fol-lowing
games like never before. Danforth loved the
whole thing. At times during a game, he would stand up
and motion to the students section to get up and go
crazy, leading the cheers himself. They would respond
at times with a deafening roar, especially at the games in
the confines of the Tulane gym, which was packed for
the rest of the season.
Danforth set the foundation last year, and now he can
start to build. There have been many similarities
between his years at Syracuse and Tulane. His first two
years at Syracuse were losers, then he led them to six
great years. He is trying to stay on the same schedule
here.
"I see a lot of parallels to Syracuse so far. Last year was
a year I look back on with mixed emotion. I see four or
five games we should have won."
"Cummings had a great year. He was the first player to
lead the ccmference (Metro VII) in both rebounding and
scoring."
Danforth looks into the future and sees Tulane aver-aging
12,0(K) a game in the Dome. "You have to educate
the people. I was not satisfied with the overall support.
You have to think positive. Everything has to be positive.
The people of New Orleans and the students have to
believe we are always going to win. That is what we
have to get across. We must develop a winning attitude
at Tulane."

SMITH
Larry Smith's biggest mistake last year was that he
expected too much too quickly. He had coached previ-ously
at two schools with winning traditions (Arizona
and Michigan) but now he was coming to Tulane, where
most of the students didn't even want a football team.
Smith immediately was under great pressure to pro-duce
a winner. All the promotion and all the publicity in
the world is not going to put people in the stands, how-ever.
That will only come when the university has a win-ner.
Getting people to associate winning with Tulane
football would be the largest part of Smith's job.
It was extremely difficult for most Tulane people to
forget the horrendous 2-9 season the Wave had. What
made it so hard to accept was that the optimism of
Coach Smith had begun to spread to the fans. Thirty
thousand attended the Spring game on Smith's promise
of a wide-open, exciting and, more important, winning
brand of football. The tough questicm is trying to figure
out what went wrong?
The main problem may have been that Smith tried to
impose his previous standards on last year's team. Prior
to last season, his 1} years of coaching had seen only
one losing season. One important thing that must be
remembered is that it was Smith's first year as a head
(oach and some mistakes are to be expected. Smith
seems to have learned a great deal from the painful
experience of last year.
"We put loo much pressure on the kids last year and
that was wrong. We approached our first game with
Cincinnati (TU lost 21-14) like it was the Super Bowl. At
that time the first game was the key to the season. We
had to win the first one to gel it over the hump.
When you put all your eggs in one basket, like build-ing
that game up like a Super Bowl, well, it was just
wrong. That was all my fault, and I shouldn't have done
it."
What Smith also found out the hard way is it is going
to take more than just talk to make people accept the
football program. At the same time, however, he feels
he must loosen his win-at-all-costs attitude.
"I really didn't feel much pressure a year ago from the
media or the school administration to win, but I
expected to win. I applied that pressure.
"The approach has changed. I tell our players that the
most impc^rtant thing is to know that yc»u can look your-self
in the mirror and know you've done the best job
possible. We set goals, stress hard work, fun, pride and
class. Those things haven't changed. But we do have a
deeper understanding of the players and their capabili-ties.
They know us better and what we're teaching."
1977 will be a very important year in determining the
fate of Tulane football. Nothing short of a winning sea-son
will do. I he talk of, "we are making progress," will
not suffice anymore. I he fan potential is present, the
patience is not.

FOOTBALL
1976
The year that saw the coaching debut of Larry Smith was
one that everyone concerned woiild like to forget. Better
things were definitely expected from the 1976 Tulane foot-ball
season. The difficult thing to take about the season is
that Smith went into the year with so much optimism. The
problem was, this optimism rubbed off on almost every-one,
Tulane students included. This accounts for the stu-dents
bitter resentment of the horrendous 2-9 season the
Wave was to suffer through in 1976.
It looked as though things were going to be different.
Smith put his squad through a brutal spring practice, it all
ended with the annual spring game, which was played
before a huge turnout of over 30,000 in the Dome. The
team Tooked good, playing an aggressive, spirited brand of
wide-open football, another trait that Smith had promised.
This same feeling prevailed in August when preparation
began for the season opener on September 11 against Cin-cinnati.
It appeared that the Wave would be better pre-pared,
both mentally and physically than any Tulane team
in a long time. Smith went so far as to isolate the team for a
week in Covington, to make them concentrate even more
on the task ahead. Smith put a great deal of emphasis on
the first game. Perhaps he put too much emphasis on that
first game, playing it up as the key to the rest of the season.
Whatever the case, the team went into the first game
unbelievably tight, and lost the game because they made
too many mistakes, something that would haunt them the
rest of the year.
In looking back over the season, it is clear that the 21-14
loss to Cincinnati before 29,134 in the Dome, set the tone
for the rest of the year. Perhaps part of the reason the
Wave made so many errors was that they played such a
young team. They started a freshman. Tommy Hightower,
at quarterback, and 16 of the first 22 players in both offense
and defense would be back the following year.
The Cincinnati game was lost on fumbles, something the
Wave offense would not be able to overcome the whole
season. Over the season Tulane fumbled 35 times, losing
the ball 24 times. What made the fumbles hurt even more
^ivas that many of them came deep in Tulane's own terri-tory.
The loss to Cincinnati was followed by a humiliating 34-7
loss on the road to Mississippi. Tulane gave the ball away
six times. The Rebel running attack tore the Wave defense
apart for 394 yards.
There was one highlight for Tulane in the game as soph-omore
Reggie Scott broke a long run for the second week
in a row. Scott returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown
after returning one 57 yards against Cincinnati.
The Wave stretched the losing streak to three the next
week when Boston College beat them 27-3. It was obvious
the Smith era was not catching on as a crowd of only 20,235
showed up in the Dome. A positive thing that did come
out of the game was the play of freshman quarterback
Roch Hontas, who took over when Hightower was hurt
early in the game. In his first game, Hontas was 15 for 22
and finally got the Wave offense to move the ball.
Just when people were talking and 11, Tulane surprised
everyone with a 24-13 victory at Vanderbilt. Hontas was an
impressive 11 for 12, and for a change, the defense was
superb. The next week Tulane travelled to Syracuse trying
for two in a row. The game was played in horrible condi-tions
and Tulane lost 3-0 thanks to a missed call by the refs
that took away an early Tulane touchdown.
The next week was homecoming and 25,000 saw the
Wave beat a good Army team, 23-10. The Army game
would be the last time Tulane would win in 1976 as they
finished the season with five losses. However, in each of
those five games, the Wave was never really out of it. They
could never quite put it together. If the offense played
'Sports
sports / 171
well, the defense played poorly. And when the defense
would do the job, the offense couldn't move the ball.
After the Army game, Tulane journeyed to Georgia Tech,
where they have not won since 1933. Tulane played one of
their best games of the year and led Tech 16-14 with five
minutes to go. Two quick touchdowns ended the dream as
Tech won 28-16.
Tulane then came home for three straight home games
before LSU. First was a loss to Memphis State 14-7. The next
week the offense scored 28 points against West Virginia
but the defense gave up 32. Terry Looney got his first
action of the season and threw two touchdowns, of 72 and
68 yards. But as usual it wasn't enough. Rutgers came in
next with the longest winning streak in the country of 16
games. The Wave game then a decent game, but Rutgers
got away with a 29-20 victory.
It was finally time for LSU. A win over the Tigers would
do a lot to make people forget what had gone on earlier in
the year. Tulane went to Baton Rouge and played their best
game of the year. They lost 17-7, but with a few breaks it
was a game they could have won. Five times the Green
Wave had the ball inside the LSU 35 yard line. Only once
could Tulane score. It was a fitting end to the sorry year.
The Wave was close, but just didn't have enough to win.
One thing about a 2-9 year is that hopefully things can't get
much worse.

The 1976-77 Tulane basketball season was a strange one,
indeed. With first year coach Roy Danforth, fresh from Syr-acuse
where he turned that school into a major power, the
team posted what was from first glance a disappointing 10-
17 record. But there is much that must be looked at before
the season is fully understood and appreciated.
Even with the losing record, the team provided its fans
with the most exciting season ever. It featured an
extremely hard schedule, the Wave had to face such teams
as NCAA champion Marquette, ACC champ North Caro-lina,
SWC champ Arkansas, ACC runner-up Virginia, rivals
LSU and UNO, not to mention the teams they had to play
from the tough Metro Vil Conference, (Louisville, Cincin-nati,
Memphis State), of which Tulane is now a member.
Danforth built his squad around 6-11 center Jeff Cum-mings,
forward Arthur Bibbs and guard Pierre Gaudin. It
was obvious from the start that the play of these three
would decide the fate of the team. Their play would typify
the whole season, at times sensational, at times horrid, you
never knew what to expect.
Cummings, a senior, was the team's dominant player,
averaging 19.2 points and 12. rebounds a game. That was
also good enough to lead the Metro in those statistics.
Bibbs was steady the whole season, with his finest game a
sensational 34 point performance against Louisville. Gau-din
started off slowly, but finished strong to average 16
points per game.

The Wave played some tremendously exciting games.
The high point had to be the upset of Cincinnati 78-75, at a
time when Cincinnati was the second ranked team in the
country. After that game the Wave found they could play
with anybody. Not only did Tulane get confidence in
themselves, but Tulane students actually started believing
in them. They played two games in the padded cell known
as the Tulane gym, where 5,000 howling maniacs packed
the stands, that were classics. They lost two heartbreakers,
to Virginia 74-70 and Arkansas 76-73 in a game that saw
Tulane lead by 18 points.
The fan support in these games was unbelievable. Never
had there been such enthusiastic crowds at a Tulane sport-ing
event. The enthusiasm carried over to the city series
with UNO. 10,000 saw the Wave win the first game 82-75
behind Cumming's 28 points. Tulane lost the second game
73-72 on a 30-foot last second UNO basket.
The disappointing part of the season was the way Tulane
played on the road. They won only one game, looking mis-erable
in the process. Then there came the nightmare
against Marquette in the Dome, when the Wave lost 63-44
in a game that saw them score the staggering total of nine
points in the first half.
All in all, Danffirth built the framework for next year.
With the return of Gaudin and impressive freshman Carlos
Zuniga, and the continued fan support, big-time basketball
at Tulane is not far away.

The dimly-lit, musty hall known as Publications
Alley was shattered by a most unseemly spectacle. It
was the beginning of the spring season and in its
honor five WTUL staff members of the coterie "BIZ-ZARRE"
were marching in goose-step fashion with
right arms extended to the tune "Springtime for Hit-ler."
The patriotic fervor with which they sang the lyr-ics
caused me to reflect on what a strange bunch of
loonies have always inhabited the studios and offices
of the student radio station located "in the bowels of
the University Center."
As a past general manager, I can distinctly recall
that I, too, was a party to the mass hysteria associated
so closely with WTUL. As a matter of fact, I can fre-quently
remember instances of lunacy which I had
instigated and led. Those events notwithstanding, I
should like to describe an evolutionary process which
has transformed a senior engineering student's idea
into an integral part of the Tulane community.
Although I can appreciate that the history of the stu-dent
radio station is hardly the most interesting of
topics, I feel it necessary to point out that as students
we have all read infinitely more boring literature. So,
read on.
In 1959 the aforementioned engineering student
with the somewhat ironic appellation of Henry Teles
(as in "Tell us what you played," etc.) came up with
the brilliant idea of having some engineering stu-dents
get together and construct a radio station for
the enjoyment of the entire Tulane community.
Unfortunately, Henry left school before he could wit-ness
his dream bear fruit. However, several other stu-dents
rose up to fill his shoes and in February, 1961, a
carrier current station (heard only in the dormitories)
sprang up on the AM dial at S50 KHZ. Unfortunately,
WAVE Radio was in short order forced to change its
call letters by the Federal Communications Commis-sion,
who pointed out that a Kentucky station already
was so-named. Thus, WTUL Radio came about — but
only as a second choice.
The technical operations were running along
somewhat smoothly, so the next order of business
was to institute a programming format.
When the first promotional copy of "Meet the Bea-tles"
was received at WTUL, the program director lis-tened
attentively to three cuts, removed the stylus
from the record and very capably smashed the album
into small pieces against the studio wall. "This s—
will never be played at my station!" he was heard to
exclaim. That event transpired some 13 years ago, and
in the interim the station's programming has made
some amazing turnabouts which the above-men-tioned
program director would hardly appreciate.
Thankfully enough, he is in the minority.
Progressive radio, as readily noted by the above
VVTUL's
16th
Year
2J4 / organizations
1500 Watts
for
the City
illustration, did not always find itself welcome at
VVTUL. In its early, formative years a strange combi-nation
of classical and folk music pervaded the air-waves.
The Limeliters, Jack Linkletter's "Hootenanny"
and Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in d" were prominent
mainstays. Slowly, though, rock music programs
gained a steady foothold on the station's format, and
in 1967 the Limeliters and "Hootenanny" records
went the way of John, Paul, George and Ringo —
smashed against the studio wall into small pieces.
The tiny ten-watt toy radio idea was the next logi-cal
progression of WTUL's madness. After much hard
work on the part of the general managers and engi-neers,
WTUL-FM became a reality on December 4,
1971. But the move to FM bore with it a catch-twenty-two.
Monies to maintain the operations, pay the sala-ries,
and provide for continuing expansion had previ-ously
come from advertising revenues. Now the sta-tion
was educational and non-commercial. No more
advertising money. VVTUL was up the proverbial
creek without a paddle.
Therefore, salaries were dispensed with and more
reliance was placed on the Student Senate for fund-ing.
Fund-raising projects to aid future expansion
were suggested such as the highly-successful Mara-thons.
The first VVTUL Marathon was an inauspicious
event in which one brave soul did a remote broadcast
from a shower stall in Monroe with the water running
and while holding a prophylactic-covered micro-phone
for six hours. However, when real money was
required to finance station operations, a more public
event was decided upon. Thus were born the Rock-
On Survival Marathons I, II, III, and IV. The most
memorable of these was the third event, where
VVTUL handled remote broadcasts on the Tulane
streakers. Thousands attended.
Suddenly things were going along much better
than expected. Money saved the day for the finan-cially-
ill student station. A new construction permit
was filled out, a new one-thousand watt transmitter
was ordered, and a new era was beginning to dawn
for the radio station.
On September 4, 1976, Congresswoman Lindy
Boggs flipped a simple little switch and citywide
reception of VVTUL had begun. That takes us to pres-ent
day where WTUL-FM continually pumps out the
finest in progressive programming at an amazing 1500
watts Effective radiated power.
So, if the "BIZZARRE" loonies wish to march up
and down the University Center halls singing "Spring-time
for Hitler," why shouldn't they? They are the
future leaders of WTUl and indeed have something
to be proud of. As a matter of fact, I think I might like
to sing along . . .

University Senate:
The Faculty
Comes of Age
It was extraordinary. In my three years
of covering University Senate meetings
for the HULLABALOO, nothing quite
like it had ever happened. It was at their
February meeting when the Senate,
composed mainly of faculty, was
presented the University's budget for
fiscal 1977-78. The budget allowed for a
wopping ¥4 of a million dollar deficit for
the intercollegiate athletic program,
with most of the deficit attributed to
football.
President Hackney went through the
mechanics of asking the faculty
representatives for their tacit approval
which was necessary before the budget
could be presented to the Board of
Administrators. The President
confidently told his professorial
colleagues that next year would be
different — the beginning of the end of
massive deficits which had plagued the
Athletic department for the last five
years. It quickly became evident,
however, that this time the faculty were
not buying the story. Some professors
defiantly confronted the President.
258 /faculty
"/ always thought that when a department
overran its budget into a deficit that the
deficit was carried over until the next year.
This is not being done in Athletics, is it?"—
Professor Henry Mason, Political Science
The President quickly reassured the Senate
that the new coaching staff of the football
team had the utmost confidence that they
could produce a winning season in 1977. It
would be the beginning of a new golden age
of Green Wave football. President Hackney
was asking for a vote of confidence in his
commitment to rebuild the program. But the
faculty was not sympathetic.
"Why all this faith in a change in
personnel? A 2-9 record is still a 2-9 record. I
don't understand what all this football
enthusiasm is about. What we are doing now
is just an act of faith. "— Professor William
Cwyn, Political Science
It's difficult to determine what finally
caused the faculty to erupt at this particular
meeting. Perhaps initial stirrings of
discension began when they were informed
earlier in the meeting that the athletic deficit
for this year would be the largest deficit in
the history of the University, due to the fact
that the officials of the Athletic Department
had neglected to include a number of
expenses in their original fiscal projection
and because of a number of cost overruns.
The original 1976-77 athletic deficit had been
projected to be S>f>(>6,,398. By the time the final
figures rolled in, the athletic deficit crested at
somewhere around $1,12 },498 — almost
twice the figure the Athletic Department had
originally predicted.
Secondly, the year had not been a
particularly good one for academics. During
the first semester the Louisiana State Board of
Regents had evaluated Tulane's graduate
chemistry and physics departments in
comparison to similar departments across the
country. The Board recommended that the
two departments be closed since they were
in such bad condition, citing a lack of
funding as the primar> c ulpril. In another
study conducted by the Association of
Research Libraries the Howard Tillon Library
was measured against the libraries of 'M)
comparable universities. lulane's lihrar\
ranked last in nearly every calegor\ inc luding
acquisition of tww periodicals and books,
total expenditures for the library, etc. "It is an
amusing comparison between Ibis year's
athletic defic it and the amount of money
needed to bring the library up lo the
median." Professor (dward Partridge, E riglish.
Chairman of the University Senate
Committee of I ibraries.
furthermore, the faculty resented the
athletic defic it bee ause of this effect on their
own financ iai well-being.
Tulane professors continued to be among
the lowest p.iici tac ult\ of .un major
university across llu- tialion.

All of this aside, the very
existence of an athletic deficit was
completely antithetical to the
purpose of the Senate. As
Professor Mason argued in the
meeting that day, the Senate's
budgetary function is to determine
how the University's financial
resources can best be spent in the
service of its academic needs.
What the faculty was saying was
that academic needs cannot be
met while an athletic deficit
continues.
By the end of the meeting, the
faculty began to seriously
question, in light of these facts, if
the intercollegiate football
program was worth continuing
another year. The President,
however, stood his ground.
He was able to gain the support
of the Senate's own Budgetary
Review Committee and Athletic
Committee and thus contain
faculty opposition against
continued funding of the program
for at least one more year.
Before the Senate voted to
approve the 1977-78 athletic
deficit, however. Professor Gwyn
evoked a pledge from his
colleagues that immediately
following the 1977 football season,
the University Senate would reach
a definite conclusion about the
continuation of the intercollegiate
football program.
Said Gwyn, "Before we take
another step we must analyze the
entire program, before it becomes
our own Vietnam."
The February meeting was not
typical of the normal proceedings
of the University Senate. But it was
a dramatic example of the type of
dilemma facing the faculty in 1977
and in tne years ahead. The faculty
will have to cooperate with
President Hackney and his staff as
they gel on with the business of
building the University. The
faculty must also remain
adamantly opposed to any plans
for progress whic h sac rifice
academics in the process, the
continued development of lulane
University as t\n institution of
higher educ alion lies in the
successful negotiation of both
philosophies.
